Christmas Gifts-Stars and Diamonds
What meaningful Christmas gifts shall I buy?
The Heavenly star symbolise Christ's birth
So, ear studs with hanging stars I can try
As the candle for light, Jesus for world
A golden candle stand will just be right
As wreath for love, Fir tree for evergreen
Green shade dress can keep you level-headed
While shopping I see stars, cakes and almonds
A Star emerged within, strummed my heart's string
"Buy three presents, studded and crafted with diamonds
A beautiful necklace, earrings and golden ring
to make your loved one feel high-spirited"
Bought them and informed you about the three
You said, "Diamond starry things with out you?
God sent Christ, fulfilled his promise to set us free
Christmas means fulfilling a promise which is due
Dear, please come home to make me light-hearted"
Getting leave is hurdle in the Forces
Lucky me, now my leave has been approved
Coming home with the stored love resources
To have a wonderful Christmas with you
and to say hello to the friends we know
Humming Annie's other song here I come
Stop being po-faced and low-spirited
