Mommy! Mommy! See our Christmas tree
Shining for the neighbors to see
And the logs on the fire, so sparkly?
They make me feel warm and fuzzy!
Did you know tonight is Christmas Eve?

Mommy! Mommy! Watch how the lights
Blink and glitter and shine so bright!
Used to be I was scared of the night
But it's too pretty to feel any fright.
Mommy, what will you open at midnight?

Mommy! Mommy! Listen. There's singing
And snowmen's angels and bells ringing;
I wonder will anyone come bringing
Any presents for us or anything?
It makes me happy the ding-dong-dinging.

Mommy! Mommy! What did you say?
Oh, me? What do I want this holiday?
That's easy. I wanna laugh and play
With you and sissy. Tonight, can we pray
That Daddy will come this Christmas Day.
