One Christmas
I got a big Red Bike
With white mudguards
All new and shiny like
But alas it was gone
Again, on Boxing Day
It belonged to the
post office
So, the police took it
away
One Christmas
I got a big Red Bike
With white mudguards
All new and shiny like
But alas it was gone
Again, on Boxing Day
It belonged to the
post office
So, the police took it
away
Are you wearing blue tinsel?
Tied amidst your lustrous
curls
Not a festive hue and
yet
You have it amidst the
curls
So is it a statement
or was it
The only colour you
could get
Long red socks
And Christmas frocks
A sprig of mistletoe
That’s Christmas ho ho
ho
Happy Christmas to you both
See, we did remember
Because you are so
dear
Just like every year
We will never forget
We just wish and wish
You were still here
Just like every year
We will remember
And take a pause
Amidst the cheer
Just like every year
So, we wish you
A happy Christmas
And wipe away a tear
Just like every year

I don't want much for Christmas
What I want is quite
naïve
And an unrealistic expectation
I just want everybody to be happy
I know it’s a forlorn hope
But miracles do happen
at Christmas
Throughout the yuletide season
In the light of the
fireside glow
Christmas garlands are
strung
Of Holly, Ivy, and
Mistletoe
On Christmas Eve, a nutcracker
Is turned into a
handsome Prince,
Clara saves him from
the Mouse King
And go to the land of
sweets and mints
There they dance
around for a bit
Before the Prince
takes Clara as his belle
And they marry and
that’s The End
And that is the
nutcracker in a nutshell
