Because Christmas
Mommy, why are those lights twinkling
On the houses in the snow?
They are making the dark streets bright
Wherever we want to go.
Why?
Because Christmas!
Mommy, why are there so many shoppers
Carrying packages in the mall?
They are buying special presents
Hoping to please one and all.
Why?
Because Christmas!
Mommy, why are there colourful cards
Delivered by Canada Post?
They are happy greetings
From friends we love the most.
Why?
Because Christmas!
Mommy, why are there pretty floats
With stories of my favourite things
And bands drumming and tootling by
With a clown who some candy flings?
Why?
Because Christmas!
Mommy, why are those little kids sitting
On Santa’s knee in the department store?
What are they whispering to him
And why is he laughing some more?
Why?
Because Christmas!
Mommy, why is there a baby in a manger
In that little wooden shed?
Why are there animals all around
And an angel hovering overhead?
Why?
Because Christmas!
