VERSE/REFRAIN:
A prickly merry holiday practice
Is decorating a pointy Christmas cactus.
Put a star on the top of the cheery plant
With red and white blooms to enchant.
Be careful not to prick your finger,
Or Santa Claus might not want to linger.

VERSE/REFRAIN:
The cactus buds are a Christmas sign
Of answered prayers in a garden shrine.
Children march into church with the flower:
They gather for a child of light and power.
Be careful not to prick your finger,
Or Santa Claus might not want to linger.

BRIDGE:
Only water it when it’s dry to the touch.
A little bit of water might be too much.
Sunlight grows the beautiful leaves.
Prune it so it’s ready for Christmas Eve!
VERSE/REFRAIN:
Shine it up with electric lights.
Hang silver balls for starry nights.
The cactus is a seasonal favorite.
Ornament galore, and you can savor it!
Be careful not to prick your finger,
Or Santa Claus might not want to linger.
