‘Twas the night before Christmas with Santa on his way
The animals were resting on this special day
They know tomorrow’s Christmas, there’s magic in the air
The farmer gives them extra feed because he really cares.

‘Twas the night before Christmas,
the angels and the shepherds were in awe,
For what they saw
the brightest star
up in the night sky
Awaiting Jesus’ birth
as Mary and Joseph waited ’til nigh!

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and starting to snow
I was watching for Santa, to tell him hello;
He slid down the chimney like there’s nothing to it
While I tried to figure, just how did he do it

‘Twas the night before Christmas, with giggles and grins,
Snickerdoodles and gingerbread piled high in tins;
The lights twinkle so merrily with decorations from past,
The yule log is burning; it’s Christmas at last!
