A for the animals, out in the stable, B for the Babe in the manger cradle, C for the carolers, happy and gay, D for December, the 25th day, E for the Eve when we're all so excited, F for the fun when the Christmas tree's lighted, G for the goose, so round and so fat, H for the holly and Santa's red hat, I for the ice on snow-covered hills, where sledding is fun, in spite of the spills, J is for Jesus, the Christ child so dear, We honor His birth on Christmas each year, K for the kitchen where Mom cooks the feast, L for the light shining way in the East, M for the mistletoe. Watch where it hangs! N is the noel the angels first sang, O for the ornaments trimming the tree, P for the presents, for you and for me, Q for the quaking of shepherds in fear, when the bright angels brought them the words of good cheer, R for the reindeer, leaping the roofs, S for the stockings that Santa Claus stuffs, T for the toys, the tinsel, the tree, U is for us- the whole family, V is for visitors, friends far and near, W is for welcoming wreaths on the wall, X is for Xmas, with pleasures for all, Y is for Yule logs whose bright sparks fly high, to give a warm welcome to friends passing by, Z is for zeal we show at this time in giving to others and loving mankind.
