The Favorite Holiday
The temperature is way down low.
Kids and skiers play in the snow.
This is no time for arguments.
It’s time to put up the ornaments.
I won’t break any laws.
I just want to see Santa Claus.
I can laugh like “Tee, hee, hee, hee, hee.”
It’s time to put up the tree.
I love a Christmas feast.
And candy and egg nog, at least.
The best of all is under the tree.
There are a lot of gifts for me.
