Saintly bells chiming hope, an angel earns his wings,
The smiling face of Bing Crosby, the poetry he sings,
Jimmy Stewart (the Bailey boy), Clarence at his side,
A winter wonderland, a miracle, so many filled with pride,
Rudolph and his little elf, the Bumble and his beast,
Santa, friends, my mother, Frosty, a family feast,
Stockings and anticipation, Durante, a jolly soul,
A warming fire in the hearth, love that makes home whole,
Reindeer, sleigh bells, mistletoe, a kiss from my wife,
Laughter, hot cocoa, It's A Wonderful Life,
Little drummer boy, the littlest angel, the north star shining bright,
The wise men's trek, a manger, the birth upon this night,
Ornaments and garland, the sappy smell of pine,
Ribbons and bows and children, the hand of God divine,
Once a year, peace on Earth, faith, good will toward men,
Ho ho ho, a prayer of thanks, here it comes again.
