What joy there is at this time of year,
Yet again we meet with Christmas cheer,
I look around and see my friends,
And think of the fun their presence lends,
Looking ahead to the year to come,
I know we're going to have some fun,
The future's bright, and I can see,
That friendship is a gift for free.
