Daddy and The Christmas Tree Angel

A Carol, on the Juicy Side

Thanksgiving is done. How can we top It? With Brighter Lights and Bigger Wings! Time to plunge into Christmas! I hope this helps:

Oh Daddy always grumbled

About setting up the tree.

He lacked the Christmas spirit

Just between you all and me

But this year when he hooked up

Our angel to the lights,

A change came over Daddy,

And now he's quite a sight.

            Oh Daddy's never glowed his way on Christmas.

            He seems to have absorbed the angel's juice.

            Yes the angel on the tree has lit up Daddy,

            And Daddy just can't seem to turn her loose.

The angel's made of tinsel

With a lightbulb in her breast.

Daddy went to put her up

On top where she looks best.

He climbed up on his ladder

And held the angel high,

And wired her to the treetop;

We plugged her in and, My!

            Oh, Daddy's never glowed this way on Christmas.

            He seems to have absorbed the angel's juice.

            Yes the angel on the tree has lit up Daddy,

            And Daddy just can't seem to turn her loose.

Daddy isn't speaking.

I guess he's full of awe.

We'd rather not unplug him --

Till now we never saw

Daddy look so festive,

Daddy look so fine.

He's brighter than the angel --

His eyes especially shine.

            Oh Daddy's never glowed this way on Christmas.

            He seems to have absorbed the angel's juice.

            Yes the angel on the tree has lit up Daddy,

            And Daddy just can't seem to turn her loose.

We'll let him be till New Year's,

Or till he lets us know

That he has had enough of

His new angelic glow.

He adds a lot to Christmas

By simply standing there,

His lips moving slightly

As if in silent prayer.

            Oh Daddy's never glowed this way on Christmas.

            He seems to have absorbed the angel's juice.

            Yes the angel on the tree has lit up Daddy,

            And Daddy just can't seem to turn her loose.
