Ho, Ho, Ho !!

As snow lays on the ground

 foot prints seen everywhere

for throngs of many shoppers 

search for their Christmas fare

bright lights and cheery music

excitement for the festivities

children`s laughter can be heard

as they pursue fun activities

a loud Ho Ho Ho is 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 each child smiles at him

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 !
