| Snowflakes in the air, carols everywhere, Olden times and ancient rhymes, And love and dreams to share. |

| Sleigh bells in the air, kindness everywhere, Yuletide by the fireside, Joyful memories there. |
| Christmas time is here, bringing warmth and cheer, Oh, that we could always see Such spirit through the year! |
