"The Wreath and Candles," A MERRY CHRISTMAS CAROL

VERSE:

The Wreath and Candles Christmas Stamp

Was the first emblem of its festive kind.

It graced greeting cards and Santa’s letters.

By the Postmaster General, it was designed.

The seal sold out oh so very quickly!

The printer had to print many more.

So, the Christmas cards were decorated

By the time the post reached your front door.

 

CHORUS:

The postman’s motto or so it goes,

Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail,

Or Christmas traffic with the Western winds,

Shall keep the postmen from delivering mail!

 

VERSE:

Like a star on top of a Christmas tree,

The stamps were elegant and right on time. 

Each year after that, like fine artwork,

The new seals were drawn line by line.

Just a tiny red and green painting,

You stick with a lick of your tongue.

The stamps never became outdated.

Loved so much, there's a song to be sung.

 

CHORUS:

The postman’s motto or so it goes,

Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail,

Or Christmas traffic with the Western winds,

Shall keep the postmen from delivering mail!

 

BRIDGE:

Santa Claus delivers toys on Christmas Eve,

To all those who write him a magic letter.

Blessed with a holiday Christmas stamp,

The correspondence becomes all-the-better.

 

CHORUS:

The postman’s motto or so it goes,

Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail,

Or Christmas traffic with the Western winds,

Shall keep the postmen from delivering mail!
