Christmas time is here again


Christmas time is here again
Celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ
What joy there is to think on Him!
Who gave His life for all of us!
How wonderful to see the love
And happiness spread around as
We show we care for everyone.
Though the snow does not fall here
All around is Christmas cheer
I even saw a Christmas knight
With shiny tinsel upon his helm.
Pretty parcels filled with toys
For all the little girls and boys.
No sleigh bells in these towns tonight
Way too hot for summer flights.
Yet I did see snow in Angaston
Though the colour was a bit off-white
The Jacaranda’s blossoms fell like snow
The pavement was covered just the same
But it was the summer heat that came
So no matter the clime in this dry state
Santa comes on Christmas eve-night
He should wear thongs and stubbies shorts
Or else he’d faint down those chimney pots
The only problem to be seen I fear
Is that mankind should love his neighbour
For every single day of the year.
Songs of cheer and giving gifts
Even if it’s just a little smile
And like a boomerang in flight
It comes right back to you
And makes your day brighter still.
So thank you everyone
All the volunteers and gift givers
The wrappers and the deliverers
Of hampers filled with love and cheer
For making Christmas so special
Each and every blessed year!
