New Year’s Eve is coming to an end,
Soon the countdown will begin again,
Greet the new year right,

Santa’s making a list, checking it twice!
Pumpkin pie is baking. Everyone’s promised a slice,
Presents are wrapped, displayed beneath the tree.
Children are shaking them, “Which one’s for me?”

When Christmas comes to town.
Hanging mistletoe above your head,
Stringing lights of green and red,
Placing candy canes upon the tree,
You gather round,
Late night Christmas Eve,
That’s when Christmas comes to town.
