Sing a song of advent
Open calendars and more
Light candles, shout Messiah
Expect and wait once more
For Christmas to arrive
Celebrations to begin
The arrival of the God child
To save all from their sin
To bring peace to the earth
Goodwill to humankind
So sing a song of advent
As festivities unwind
Advent’s here let’s shout today
Bell’s ringing out so loud
Christmas candy oh so sweet
Decorations hanging proud
Elves busy in their workshops
Festive garlands all around
Gingerbread for Christmastime
Holly decking halls so sound
Ivy draped across the mantle
Jolly Santa’s nearly here
Kings following their star
Lanterns lighting with good cheer
Mistletoe for Christmas kisses
Nutcrackers breaking out brazils
Ornaments just for the season
Poinsettia on the sills
Quietness in silent night
Reindeer resting up in time
Stockings waiting to be filled up
Trees decorated so sublime
Us together as a family
Voices singing carols out
Wreaths hung upon the door
‘Xcited children shout
Yule logs glowing in the fireplace
Zeds as children try and sleep
To herald in this Christmas morning
Unwrapping blessings now to keep
Not long now until Christmas comes
And with it all the fun
The warm mince pies and pure magic
And Carols to be sung
The wrapping up of gifts galore
The cooking of the cake
The glasses of mulled wine to drink
And decs to hang or make
The shouting out at pantomimes
The cards to write and send
The fun times with our families
Or with other great good friends
But spare a thought for others who
Won’t feel so Christmassy
For whom Christmas joy is absent
Devoid of company
Those lost or simply all alone
Who need a little call
A visit or a drop in for
Good tidings to befall
To maybe share a Christmas smile
To spend a little time
So that all their Christmases come
At once and so sublime!
So let’s recall Christmas Spirit
With wishes for this day
That raise a glass and make a toast
With happiness to say
We wish you all a festive time
A time of joyfulness
A time where each and every one
Will feel so very blessed
A time where all humanity
Will join with festal cheer
To wish each a Happy Christmas
A jolly good new year
