Christmas time
Christmas time is here again
I wonder where it’s been?
Apart from in December
It is very rarely seen.
Was Christmas hiding somewhere?
It’s difficult to say
I saw it in September once
But then it ran away.
Yes Christmas time is here again
Don’t question why or how!
Don’t worry where it was before
At least it’s with us now!
I wonder where it’s been?
Apart from in December
It is very rarely seen.
Was Christmas hiding somewhere?
It’s difficult to say
I saw it in September once
But then it ran away.
Yes Christmas time is here again
Don’t question why or how!
Don’t worry where it was before
At least it’s with us now!
