"'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse"
'Twas the night before Christmas and we went to the pub
To have a few beers and plenty of grub
'Twas the night before Christmas and they were coming back
From fighting in Afghanistan and duty in Iraq
'Twas the night before Christmas and we went to sing
Carols in Church and to hear the bells ring
'Twas the night before Christmas just me and you
Warm by the fire with our dinner for two
'Twas the night before Christmas with the children in bed
Listening for sleigh bells and a big man in red
'Twas the night before Christmas and she was alone
No friends or family to call her own
'Twas the night before Christmas and he was so cold
A night on the streets is no place for the old
'Twas the night before Christmas and she knocked on the door
Come share our meal we have plenty more
'Twas the night before Christmas no longer alone
Invited to share some one else's home
'Twas the night before Christmas and he made him warm
A thick coat and soup kept him from harm
On the night before Christmas remember the needy
Rise above glutton and not be greedy
The reward for giving is far greater to see
To help others means more to you and to me
