COUNTING IT ALL JOY!
December
Dreaming of a white Christmas
Early nights with frostbite
Colored lights glistening in the evening light
Evergreen trees brought in to decorate in splendor
Merriment of a very Merry Christmas
Bells ringing ding a ling a ling
Elves running around dressed in red
Rejoicing in the birth of Our Savior
