Christmas Eve Oil on paper, 11" x 7 1/2"
Why do reindeer learn to fly?
In the summer, they won't try.
It's because it's Christmas,
Christmas time again.
Why do turkeys get depressed?
I'll tell you, if you haven't guessed.
It's because it's Christmas,
Christmas time again.
Why do we bring trees inside
when they should be outside growing?
Why are all the windows lined
with snow, though it isn't snowing?
Why are puddings set on fire?
Why has Grandma joined the choir?
It's because it's Christmas,
just because it's Christmas,
it's because it's Christmas,
Christmas time again!
