As White as Snow

It's white, it's bright, it's falling down
Every one knows it's here
Little children are having fun
Foot prints are so clear.

It's covering the road
It's covering the trees
It's covering the houses
And there are no little bees.

It's like icing on the houses
Snowflakes falling down
Everyone's singing and laughing
It is a merry sound.

It's soft, it's cold
It's all around
Like a blanket
On the ground.

St. Finian's N.S., Dillonstown, Co. Louth

I Love Christmas

Christmas is a special time
Families gather near
I love Christmas dinners
And this time of year.

I love the Christmas presents,
Santa and the Christmas tree,
And all my relations
Who come to greet me.

Christmas makes me joyful
Children play all day.
Everybody's happy now
Santa's on his way.

Christmas Day is finally here
Everyone has woken,
And crept down to their Christmas tree
To see what presents to open.

St. Finian's N.S., Dillonstown, Co. Louth

As White as Snow

It's white, it's bright, it's falling down
Every one knows it's here
Little children are having fun
Foot prints are so clear

Scarves and hats we all put on
Making snowmen is really fun
Throwing snowballs ahh I'm gone
Here comes a ball I'm going to run.

I hope it never ends
I wish it wouldn't go,
Just let it stay forever
Slushy, mushy snow.

Slipping, sliding on my sleigh,
I rush down from the hill,
I tumble off and crack my skull,
And the doctor gives me a pill.

St. Finian's N.S., Dillonstown, Co. Louth

I Love Christmas

Christmas is a special time,
Families gather near.
I love Christmas dinners
And this time of year.

Snow fills up the windows
And lays a carpet on the ground
Children laughing, adults too
A lovely, merry sound.

Everybody's having fun
At this time of year
Kissing under mistletoe
Santa's almost here.

When I wake up in the morning,
The first thing that I see,
Is a stocking overflowing
With presents just for me.

St. Finian's N.S., Dillonstown, Co. Louth

Man In Red

Man in red, seen at night,
Who is he, where does he go?
Drives a sleigh by the moonlight,
Man in red says Ho,Ho,Ho !

He comes to you on Christmas Eve,
So behave yourselves girls and boys,
What you choose you will receive,
He specialises in fun and toys!

His best red suit is at the cleaners,
He’s loading up the sleigh.
When he has checked the toy list,
He’ll soon be on his way.

He flies up to a rooftop
And landed upon the tiles
He wastes not a second
For he has to go for miles.

St. Finian's N.S., Dillonstown, Co. Louth

As White as Snow

It's white, it's bright, it's falling down
Every one knows it's here
Little children are having fun
Foot prints are so clear

Snow is falling day and night
Children playing with delight
Everyone is having fun
It's better than the summer sun.

Only for snow
We would not have any fun
It's mushy and slushy
So let's all run !

Making snowballs and snowmen
Throwing here and there
We're cold, numb and wet
But we just don't care!

I Love Christmas

Christmas is a special time,
Families gather near.
I love Christmas dinners
And this time of year.

I love the turkey and the ham,
Which Mam puts on the table,
People gather all around,
To share a Christmas fable.

Jesus was born this very night,
Under a wandering star,
Shepherds came to see him,
They travelled very far.

Joseph and Mary looked down at the Lord,
And made a manger of hay,
Jesus they placed in the bed,
And that is where he lay.

As White as Snow

It's white, it's bright, it's falling down
Every one knows it's here
Little children are having fun,
Foot prints are so clear.

Three balls of snow
A scarf and a hat,
A snowman we'll make
From all of that.

Fun and laughter in the snow
Let's have a snowball fight.
Fingers and toes tingle
As we play all night.

The children come in
After playing in the snow.
They are jolly and cheerful
With their cheeks aglow.

I Love Christmas

Christmas is a special time,
Families gather near,
I love Christmas dinners,
And this time of year.

Now Christmas is so near,
I can`t peek at the presents,
The visitors will all soon be here,
To make Christmas so pleasant.

The tree is delightful,
Christmas is so jolly,
With all the fun and games,
Let`s go get some holly!

Christmas is coming,
The turkey is very big,
Put it on the table,
And then we'll all do a jig!

And this time of year.

Santa Claus is coming soon,
Christmas Eve is drawing near,
Get to bed now, little children!
For He will soon be here.

We love getting presents,
They're all around the tree
Lots of decorations
And we're busy as a bee.

Jesus has been born for us,
St. Nicholas has come and gone.
A new century and millennium are dawning,
But the memory of this Christmas will live on.

As White as Snow

It's white, it's bright, it's falling down
Everyone knows it's here
Little children are having fun
Footprints are so clear.

Snow comes from the north
It's white as a dove
Children love it to play in
But you better wear gloves!

Snowmen look so real
Dressed up in clothes
Hat, scarf and a carrot too
A great, big orange nose.

But sometimes the fun has to end,
And the snowman will melt and fall,
The sun will melt my snowman
Body, head and all.

I Love Christmas

Christmas is a special time
Families gather near,
I love Christmas dinners
And this time of year.

I love getting presents,
I love getting sweets,
Santa is very pleasant
He gives me lots of treats.

Children love Christmas,
Especially you and me,
Everyone is sharing,
Around the Christmas tree.

This Christmas is extra special,
With a new Millennium so near,
And what I wish for everybody,
Is a Happy New Year.

I Love Christmas

Christmas is a special time
Families gather near
I love Christmas dinners
And this time of year.

Christmas comes in December
I always remember,
And the presents under the tree
Mostly belong to me.

Santa's coming
Let's hurry to bed
I hear him humming
With a hat on his head.

Santa's hat is red
But we're all in bed
Everybody was there to hear
He'll be coming back next year.
