This is my 72nd CHRISTMAS  and I'M excited as can be-
Christmas is very special to me-
Looking back over the years-
I remember the laughter-I remember the tears-
When I was young I was poor-
Never had to much thats'for sure-
What does it matter there is no reason why-
AS a poor boy at xmas I'D sit and cry-
IF I received one gift I was glad-
IF I  did not I did not get mad-
I was grateful back then I know- I played with my one toy in the snow-
BE grateful for what you receive -
ON this special CHRISTMAS EVE-
