Last Hours Till Christmas

Ah, the joy and anticipation of Christmas Eve!

Well now, the stores are closing

To tell that the holiday rush is done

Now, it's down to those big hours

Before midnight says, 'It's Christmas Day'

 

Sitting around the Christmas tree

And singing heartfelt carols

Listening to timeless yuletide tales

And dreaming of Christmas morning

 

Families and loved ones share the joy

That comes with this joyous season

Anxiously, the children are preparing

For Santa's annual sleigh ride

 

In these last hours till Christmas,

People are feeling incomparable joy

For there's no time of year quite like it

Forever will we cherish these last hours till Christmas
