Christmas Day is almost here,
Everyone is in good cheer,
Decorations done...the cake is made,
The dinner table is all laid,
The Christmas tree stands straight and tall,
The best decoration of them all,
The presents are all underneath
Upon the door there is a wreath.
Visiting friends come rushing in,
Everyone makes such a din.
When everyone starts to go,
Mum rubs her hands and then says
"Now we're all going to Mass tonight!
You'd better clean up,you look a fright".
We tidied up,to Mass we went,
To learn all about Advent.
On the trip back to the house,
Mum tried hard not to rouse.
We were shouting at the top of our voices,
The car almost crashed because of the noises.
We arrived at home and went straight to bed,
Wishing we'd stayed up late instead.
Morning comes and I ran to the tree,
To see what Santa had left for me.
When you're opening gifts on Christmas morn,
Remember!We've had this day since Christ was born.
