I remember staring at all the sparkling Christmas lights 
Wrapped around the tree on Christmas Eve night 
I remember all of the little girls and boys 
Waiting in anticipation to play with their new toys  
I remember all of the parents grinning from ear to ear 
At the sight of all their children being filled with such cheer 
I remember sledding down the glistening snow 
Ending the night with a pile of snowballs to throw 
I remember getting carefully tucked into bed 
Cheeks still cherry red 
I remember peacefully and excitedly drifting off to sleep 
Dreaming of Santa coming, from me you wouldn’t hear a peep
