Wrote this one Christmas morning but had to tweak it a little before posting this morning.  Hope it works, now.

Jingle, Jingle
Virginia Salter

Jingle, jingle all the way,
don’t you know it’s Christmas Day!
Bells are ringing, ships are sailing,
look what’s in the manger hay.

All the lights of the city
are aglow in dawning’s rise
What’s beneath the tree so pretty,
bet that it’s a big surprise!

Twinkle, twinkle children beam,
tinsel glitters, glories stream,
snow is someone’s memory
caught up in one’s reverie.

Slowly rising to the day
little tots await their play

wonderin’ what the night did bring
visions, baubles, imagining!

What to seek, what to find
crimson bows, string to bind
smiles come from thoughts so merry
dances with a sugar-plum fairy.

Yes, morning’s here and so are we
come sit beside the Christmas tree.
Whisper words of thanks and praise
for the greatest of all days.

Come with me, frivolity,
that’s what saves are sanity
we’ll dance beneath the winter sun
thanking God for all He’s done.
