The Carolers
The first night the carolers came around They made the moonlit air resound
The noise when they began to play Made Lion growl, “Oh, go away!”
The second night was not so bad
Some practice in the day they’d had Still, Lion’s thanks were somewhat gruff
In fact, he said he’d had enough
The third night came—he cried “Bravo!” Gave them cocoa and let them go
So by the time it’s Christmas night, The carolers might sing all right
Trang 4Hooray!
Sing hooray! For school is over Books and lessons are now past Pens and papers go on the shelf Vacation day is here at last

Who thinks now
of words and numbers?
They as well are put away
For a time, they’re quite forgotten The holidays begin today!
The Christmas Tree The tree is brought inside the house,
And all the girls and boys
Come in from far and near to see
It filled with lovely toys
They then go home and lie awake
Enchanted by the sight,
To count how many days must pass
Before it’s Christmas night!

The Sleigh Ride
“Who’s for a sleigh ride across the snow, Setting your fingers and face aglow? Flying along through the frosty air
I’ll drive the sled!” cried Polar Bear
“Faster, Daddy,” the youngsters cried
“Faster, faster! You could if you tried We’re polar bears, you can’t forget Let’s see how near the Pole we get!”
Trang 7The Christmas Party
Of course, the youngsters shared the fun They made more noise than anyone
And if they had too much good cheer, It’s only Christmas once a year
