A few days before Christmas Dad would go in the woods and cut a tree

He'd drill holes and insert branches to make it perfect and pretty

Mom would pull out the box of decorations and the star for the top

Be careful with the blue glass ornaments so they wouldn't drop

Our tree was almost all blue with a little red here and there

The lights outside on the house were always blue too and another color ne'er

We always opened our gifts Christmas Eve night

And all get new pajamas which was alright

Mom would have the turkey already on cooking and the vegetables to soak

At midnight we'd have a little plate of turkey and a glass of coke

In the morning there would be Santa gifts and stockings full of treats

We would enjoy them all until Jiggs' Dinner was ready to eat

Watching Christmas movies was always a favourite of mine
