On the air the scent of pine
And sounds of Christmas joy
Children playing, laughing, falling
Into beds of fallen snow
Inside, snuggled by the fire
Moms and dads watch with love
While their young shake the boxes
Under the Tree, wrapped in holiday foil.
"I think I know, I think I do!"
"Can we? Shall we? May we? Please?"
Just one more day they'll have to wait
Until the ride of Old Saint Nick
Not a wink of sleep they'll get;
Visions of toys dance in their heads!
When the morning dawn arrives
Spring from bed and rub their eyes
(okay, he got a little sleep!)
Off to see what Santa left...
Fire trucks and dancing dolls
Candy canes and bouncing balls,
Merry Christmas One and All!
