Christmas Gifts

“What did you get for Christmas?”
“Oh, nothing much,” he said
“Nothing but a picture book,
And a pair of skates and a sled

“And a new fur cap, and a muffler,
And a train of cars, and a ball,
And a top, and a game, and an engine,
And some candy, that was all”

“What did you get for Christmas?”
“Oh, lots of things!” sald he
“We had a duck for dinner,
And we had a Christmas tree

“And we made some popcorn candy,
Enough for everyone,
And we lit a candle on the tree-
Oh, we had lots of fun

“And Mabel got a dolly,
And Ralph a rubber ball,
And the baby got a cradle quilt
And I just enjoyed them all

“And then we sang togetherT
Yes, even our baby sings-
And father and mother, they joined In-
Oh, we had lots of things”
