I'm anxious in anticipation,
The time is drawing near.
The lights and bells are out
and people in good cheer.
What will Santa bring?
Will it be presents or things that
consume me for the next year
until again I sing.
The shops are all crazy
hustling customers about,
dollars signs in their eyes
to blow our pockets out.
The carols are playing
in my mind and my heart,
but nothing compares to family
who are with me from the start.
So have a cup of good cheer.
Stay safe with family and friends.
