CHRISTMAS NIGHT

Sometimes 1 think Christmas nights the
best
Before the nursery fire, when we're I'M
dressed
And all the toys are put away except
Perhaps my engine and the baby's bear.
Then mother comes away from all the
rest
Downstairs to tell our Christmas story
there.
She takes the baby on her lap and we
Sit round her on the hearth-rpg SO we
see
The pictures in the frs, and then she
tells
About how shepherds watched their
hocks by night
And what the angels said, and how the
three
Wise kings came riding--and tho big
stars light.
And then she tells us how 1t showed the
way
To just stable where the oxen stay
And there they found Him in His
mothers arms
A little baby Christ-Child-and he
smiled;
And that (she says) is what made Christ
mas day
For you and me and every little child.
Before the nursery fire when we're I'M
dressed
Sometimes I think that Christmas nights
the best. -Everybody's.
