And calendars were steaks,
I'd waken Christmas morning,
No fair remembrance sccrning;
The chimes would ring the louder,
With song the house I'd shake

And calendars were steak.
IL notices were what cake is

Could then outdo my beaming-

A sense of joy would fly
If notices were what cake is

And key-rings were but rice,
And with best Christmas wishes"
Would heap upon my dishes
My board with cheer would dapple
And I'd feel very nice
