Green grass showing through with just a touch of some brown
A day off for me, so sleep in I did
Wearing my Christmas pajamas like a wee little kid
Drinking some coffee, watching the news
Trying to figure out just what I should dos(it's supposed to rhyme)
Just a couple more presents to wrap and make pretty
While watching the dog bark at our barn kitty
Mama baking my favorite- cranberry bread
And papa working hard, as well as our 40 head (of cattle)
Decorations have been hung, cards all have been sent
My wallet is nearly empty, but money well spent!
Tomorrow, back to work I go
Helping kids learn to ski on lots and lots of snow
Yes, I work on Christmas, but don't you worry
It's a quiet day usually, and I drive home in a hurry
Christmas isn't about tangible things that you and I buy
But about love and family and oh The Big Guy
Jesus- that's him- the one we really celebrate
For some that actually sing and eat birthday cake
For my family, we celebrate when all are drawn near
It might not be the 25th, but no problem my dear!
In many countries Christmas is more than one day
They celebrate all month or just for 12 days!
So though I work at Christmas time
I'm not the only one working for a dime
We few are lucky to have a job, to find ourselves work
There are still many who can't find jobs and feel like a jerk
With that in mind, be happy! Be merry!
Just don't eat all the chocolate covered cherries!
Remember the real reason of Christmas- the ultimate gift
A little baby born in a manger, our hearts do lift
With love from Vermont, Merry Christmas to you!
Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and Boxing Day, too!
