T’was the day after Christmas and all o’er the earth
people were waking to find there still seemed a dearth
of peace on our earth and to all good will
– we wondered if the promises would ever be fulfilled.

And then a someone shouted, “Hey! I have a thought!
Let’s celebrate Christmas every day – let’s celebrate a lot!
Let’s keep kindness and sharing alive in our hearts –
not just at Christmas, but in all the year’s parts!”

And we thought this was wise, and we thought this was good,
so we celebrated kindness all over our earth’s ‘hood.
