It's Christmas, it's Christmas
It's Christmas, it's Christmas
Let's celebrate with the family
After dinner at a good table
We'll exchange presents.
The party starts first thing in
the morning
With its preparation
In the kitchen we gather
In great excitement.
Everyone does something
You have to help
At twenty o'clock on December
24th
We'll sit down at the table.
We eat and toast
And take the opportunity to talk
After we've eaten
We'll all get up from the table.
It's time to exchange gifts
Which follows
This one's for the kids
They can't contain their
excitement.
It's after midnight
The party comes to an end
And that's the end of Christmas
Eve
And tomorrow is already Christmas
Day.
