The streets were lit up by lights - how they glowed.

I watched in amazement as I walked down the road.

More shopping than lounging,

One store to the other,

And I laughed and I played as I followed my mother.


The carol singers sang,

The bell ringers rang,

The little children screamed

As their twinkling eyes beamed.


I saw such a sight in this one little night,

But when I got home I was out like a light.

As I fell to the bed my mind drifted away

To the excitement that would happen that amazing next day.


That next morning I opened the door

To find a thousand presents, maybe millions or more!

As I ripped and I tore I shouted with glee,

As my mother exclaimed “Look, more presents to see!”
