Analysis of Jolly Good Christmas
The day, today
No one will cry
The presents beneath the tree
Will bring joy to all
The morning, this morning
Saint Nick had arrived
Where all the good kids get tons of presents
Although some don’t believe
One day, one day
We will all agree
Saint Nick is real
And he loves to eat treats
So if you wake up on December 25th
Make sure you check the tree
For a marvelous gift
Make sure you check the cookies you laid out last night
For Saint Nick’s bite
