Advent
Counting down to Christmas is so much fun
Opening up a door, one by one
When I was a little girl, it was a picture scene
With a holy manger or a snowy Christmas tree
Then came the chocolate ones with treats
A festive shape in each, lovely to eat
A delicious taste to start your day
A fun game for adults and kids to play
My gran made a bevy of stockings that hang
Each one numbered, she had a clear plan
Fill them with little toys, chocolate or sweets
Explore one each day, it’ll be every so neat
New this year for us are ones with toys
Different ones for grown-ups, girls and boys
Every day opening another new door
With lots of cool things to explore
It’s the countdown to Christmas that we really love
Trying not to open them all at once is tough
Counting and sharing together is the reason
It adds so much to the magic of the season
