C - is for Christmas, for candles and canes, for cookies and candies, and good cheer that reigns.

H - is for holly's bright leaves and red berries, and Ho Ho from the old guy with cheeks like cherries.

R - is for reindeer, for red and green everywhere, and ringing bells you hear in the air.

I - is for icicles hung on the tree, and what's in the packages that you want to see.

S - is for stockings you hope will be filled and for the snow watch out, don't get chilled.

T - is for teddy bear, trains and a top. If it isn't here soon, you'll probably pop.

M - is for mistletoe, for gifts that you made, and memories so precious they never will fade.

A - is for the angel on top of the tree and anthems and carols we sing happily.

S - is for the Savior and his Christmas Star and for service to others, both near and far.

Leader - These things spell out Christmas to each one of us. Shopping and wrapping, my what a fuss:

Christmas is always the best time of the year, and we're certainly glad that it's almost here.
