Christmas Counting

By Jeanne GuichardBy Jeanne Guichard

One, two, poinsettias for you;

three, four, wreaths on the door;

five, six, Christmas fruitcakes to mix;

seven, eight, carolers at the gate;

nine, ten, it’s Christmas time again;

eleven, twelve, thirteen, pretty ornaments we’ve seen;

fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, Christmas trees so very green;

seventeen, eighteen, reindeers never mean,

nineteen, twenty, Christmas presents so plenty.
