Ho, Ho, Ho !!

As snow lay on the ground

foot prints scattered everywhere

while throngs of shoppers 

search for some Christmas fare

bright lights and cheery music

excitement for the festivities

children`s laughter could be heard

as they pursued fun activities

loud Ho Ho Ho`s were then heard

followed by a jolly man in red

for Father Christmas has arrived

with many gifts upon his sled.

once enthroned in his grotto

handing out gifts to everyone

as he calls children to his side

until his work is almost done

then with a farewell Ho Ho Ho !

Father Christmas rides away

leaving happy children in his wake

wishing all a great Christmas Day !
