The Biggest Tree

Every year
My sis and me
Play "Who can spot the biggest tree?"
And "Which house has the brightest lights?"
To guide sweet Santa through dark nights
We sit inside
And warm our hands
And laugh and talk of all our plans
Of what we'd do, if we should see
The biggest and most dazzling tree
We'd climb right up
We'd touch the stars
And from up there we won't be far
From all the hopes and all the dreams
As Santa, with his reindeer teams
Comes dashing, dashing, overhead
While children tucked up in their beds
Sleep tight, just like my sis and me
And dream about the biggest tree
