A good time is coming,
I wish it were here,
The very best time
in the whole of the year.

I'm counting each day
on my fingers and thumbs --
the weeks that must pass
before Santa Claus comes.

Then when the first snowflakes
begin to come down,
And the wind whistles sharp
and the branches are brown,
![Divider](christmas5div2.jpg)
I'll not mind the cold,
though my fingers it numbs,
For it brings the time nearer
when Santa Claus comes.
