As the winter holiday season draws near, Bright lights and ornaments begin to appear. Stockings, garlands, angels, and wreaths, Spruce trees with presents hiding beneath, An occasion this great deserves more than a stanza It calls for a party, a festival — an extravaganza! With carols and key changes, hemiolas and hymns Triumphant trumpets, and horns never grim Fanfares and flourishes, songs filled with swells Listen carefully throughout, and you will always hear the bells.
