14 Happy Holidays Snowflakes falling gently In the darkness of the night. Children sleeping soundly, Resting by the firelight. Smiles of joy and comfort, While the days are long and cold, Remind us that this time of year Is for both the young and old. As we wait for morning, We listen with our hearts. For with footfall on the rooftops Is where the magic truly starts. We help our friends and neighbours, And all those that are in need To show the world it's better when We choose to just believe.
