Christmas In Minnesota

Christmas In Minnesota Trees are all laden with new fallen snow Sparkling like diamonds everywhere you go Colored lights twinkle from windows and lawns Plastic reindeer, Rudolf and even some fauns Stand on the rooftops each wearing a bow Carols are sounding all over the city I in my fake fur am trying to be witty Packages piled high in my arms and it's snowing So I can't see where I am going Down I go in the snow. What a pity All is covered with a blanket of white Colored lights stay on through the night Off somewhere choir voices ring Echoing praises to the king Over this all the moon shines bright Inside everything's almost ready Children are sent to bed with their teddy Parents scurry to wrap all the toys For their good little girls and boys Oops! Need to make the tree more steady The tree is steadied with a skillful hand My, doesn't it look grand? Heavily laden with trinkets galore It's a miracle it doesn't fall on the floor I bet it's the best tree in the land Morning comes early on Christmas day Sounds from downstairs are merry and gay Presents being opened and squeals of delight Wonder what Santa left last night I heard him on the roof with his sleigh Today we'll be feasting on turkey and pie And ham and sweet taters 'til evening is nigh Men will watch football, women will gab Happy will be every lassie and lad And when it's all over we'll heave a big sigh.
