December first is here again, Another year is done, It's time for hunting Christmas trees And having loads of fun. All wrapped in hoods and coats and boots And full of season cheer We climb aboard our wagon To search another year. The tractor pulls us to the grove We straddle fence barb-wire. Then roam among the stately pines Through sticktights, brush and briar. We laugh and argue, hem and haw, And scrutinize each tree, Then with an axe, yell, "timber" When we finally all agree. I'm sure the pines piled high in town In beauty far excel, But when it comes to family fun, It's something they can't sell! |
