Speaking to my 21 month old son on the phone, listening to the usual Chinese that he seems to have learnt by heart then suddenly, 'Hiya dada'. Out of the blue he says two words that are both recognisable and make sense.
Big warm glow right about now……………..
Are you hanging up your stocking on your wall
It's the time when every Santa has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer
Does a ton upon his sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day
So here it is, Merry Xmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
Are you waiting for the family to arrive
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside
Does your grannie always tell ya
That the old songs are the best
Then she's up and rock 'n' rolling with the rest
So here it is, Merry Xmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
What will your daddy do when he sees your mama kissing Santa Claus A-ha
Are you hanging up your stocking on your wall
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall
Do you ride on down the hillside
In a buggy you have made
When you land upon your head
Then you bin slayed
So here it is, Merry Xmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
So here it is, Merry Xmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
So here it is, Merry Xmas
Everybody's having fun (It's Christmas)
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
