Do you know

The way things go,

That the reason for the season

Is to be forever pleas' in.

That’s the meaning in the lights and sparkle

That’s the warmth in gifts and feasts,

That’s the glow of love in everyone’s eye

That’s the fine and festive reason why.

It’s love, peace, and joy

for thee and me this holiday!
