Another Christmas Morn · 25 December 2007
My brother woke us up again
It was Christmas morn
He didn’t stomp or shake the bed
He called us on the horn
Even though he’s far away
Christmas wouldn’t be the same
If everybody wasn’t up
By five in the A.M.
I guess it’s ritual to us
To be awake so soon
For on any other day
We’d rather sleep ‘til noon
But Christmas is a special day
For it we could not wait
And every year up late we’d stay
And early we would wake.
On Christmas day our eyes would light
To presents that we’d see
We’d run around and stack them up
Around the Christmas tree
And quietly we’d traipse around
To ‘waken everyone
So we could all our toys unwrap
And start to have our fun.
It seems that kids are we inside
For early still we wake
It’s not just for tradition
Or even for old time’s sake
I guess that we awake excited
Because we like to see
The happy glow of smiling faces
Around the Christmas tree.
