The wind is cold but the time is right,
Christmas is here; it’s a marvelous sight
Snow up to my ankles, flakes falling on my cheeks
Ready to skate somewhere near the creek
After a day of fun and games, the night comes
Family and friends gathered inside their homes
A feast is served where everyone enjoys
Laughter, music, chats and toys
All around a Christmas tree
People stare at the ornaments and see
Hanging metal birds, golden pinecones too
The night is almost over there’s only one more thing
to do
To 19th Century Canada I say adieu
