Sparkling snowflakes were falling around
Making a thick blanket on the ground

The lights on the Christmas trees
Twinkling brightly in the breeze

Carol singers sang a Christmas song
People around joined in the throng

Their lanterns casting a golden glow
Their shadows dancing in the snow

Two excited children were ready for bed
Having left food for the reindeer's and Santa to be fed

They’d left their stocking by the tree
Their eager eyes sparkled with glee

Hoping the stockings would be filled with gifts and toys
They put in their letter they’d been good girls and boys

Tommy had asked Santa for a shiny new bike
The red one in the shop was the one he would like

Ella asked for a new doll and a pram that was white
The thought of it made her eyes shine with delight

They sleepily climbed the stairs to their room
Through the curtains they saw the light of the moon

Soon they both were fast asleep
They slept so soundly there was not a peep

In the morning they bounced out of bed
Wondering if Santa and the reindeer's had been fed

Bits of straw and carrot peel lay on the hall floor
Their mouths dropped open in wonder and awe

The living room door was slightly ajar
Santa has visited on his trip from afar

Their stockings bulged with gifts and toys
Santa had kept his promise to these good girls and boys
