The Christmas We Like

The Christmas We Like.

By Ella M. Powers.

(A recitation for two primary children.)

First pupil: Just a little stocking,

Very small indeed,

Hang it by the chimney,

Santa Claus will heed.

Then on Christmas morning

I will run and see

All the lovely presents

He has left for me.

Second pupil: I never think that Christmas

Is quite so full of joy,

Unless I find a poor child

And give her a nice toy.

For don't you know at Christmas

We must be happy then,

And love to do for others

As Christ did to all men.
