Graceful presents and friendly tokens
There was a hub-bub through the big house as the time finally arrives to open the presents ! How eagerly the young ones await the glittering treasures - expectation fairly stands on tiptoe, each bosom throbs with tumultuous joy and what excitement and pleasure they will encounter while unwrapping them.
’Tis Christmas morning glad and fair
- What a blessing that Santa Claus has wings,
- For he comes from the clouds you know !
- May all little children who look today
- Into their stockings, see
- Plenty of toys for a happy play,
- And a time of mirth and glee !

Up in the morning early
They are quiet at first - both the girls and the boys, too happy to make any riot or noise and they mutually show to each other their toys.
But later, in the nursery there’s a terrible racket.
