Christmas is Done

The presents are all put away
Guests have been sent on their way
The carols were sung
The stockings all hung
New memories were made Christmas Day

Now our days of Christmas are done
And the New Year, `07’s, begun
The trimmings are packed
The lights are all blacked
We’ve honored the birth of God’s son

A new year before us, we see
Each day our new history
Let’s write them with care
So others will bear
Christ’s witness in you and me
