is filling in for Santa tonight,
Dropping off lots of gifts,
much to his delight,
His route became quite heavy,
so she had to lend a hand,
Whoever said that Santa’s
helpers,
all have to be a man?
So, when you see Christmas Elf,
In your house tonight,
Head on straight back to bed,
Everything’s alright….
On the first day of Christmas,
Christ Jesus gives to thee…
His love to last eternally,
On the second day of Christmas,
How happy you will be…
For Christ lives in us so
mercifully,
On the third day of Christmas,
Your family will receive…
Forgiveness for all the sins ye
bring,
On the fourth day of Christmas,
Uniting families, generations
and traditions, Seven flames in
every home, Restoring faith in
future memories, Seven lessons
to behold.
