Christmas in the Forest

Christmas in the Forest

I’ve been invited to a party
With some special friends of mine
Who live in the enchanted forest
Now isn’t that just fine?

I’ve got them all a present
A token just to show
That Christmas is so special
And for giving don’t you know?

I found a little thimble
In grandma’s sewing tin
That’ll make a lovely throne
Fit for a fairy king

A little empty matchbox
With some cotton wool inside
Makes such a special bed
For the fairy queen to hide

I’ve gathered lots of acorns
And taken off their caps
I thought they might be useful
For drinking from - perhaps?

I’ve collected lots of feathers
From the chickens in the pen
I’d made some tiny duvets
The elves will be pleased with them

I’ve put the presents in a pillow case
And now it’s time to go
For fairy cakes and lemonade
In the forest, in the snow
