Christmas in Ballingarry by Lee Lyons (6th Class) It’s Christmas in Ballingarry, The baby is in bed, Mam’s cooking dinner, I race down to get my sled. It’s Christmas in Ballingarry, The dogs are excited The turkey is ready We’re all delighted. It’s Christmas in Ballingarry, Our family is together We’re all eating dinner Dad’s complaining about the weather. It’s Christmas in Ballingarry, The presents are open We’re all outside There is no one in Tobin’s. It’s Christmas in Ballingarry, The baby awakes We’re standing outside Looking at the frozen lakes.	Christmas in Ballingarry by James Egan (5th Class) It’s Christmas in Ballingarry, The Santa letters are sent. People are looking forward To the end of Advent. On Christmas Eve Santa’s halfway across the world Delivering presents To every boy and girl. The lights are glowing nicely And everyone is still Until they see a small red dot Flying across Slieveardagh hills Everyone’s asleep, When Santa’s on the roof Until someone hears The banging of a hoof. Christmas is over in Ballingarry, I hope that you had fun There’s one last thing to say ‘Happy New Year to everyone!’
Christmas in Ballingarry by Tadhg O’Brien It’s Christmas in Ballingarry, Snow is falling, soft and light. Windows are aglow. Santa’s coming tonight. But we also must remember, A baby, so they say. It’s Jesus Christ our Saviour Who was born on Christmas Day. Santa has brought us his gifts But children must remember The Blessed Jesus Christ, Who was born in late December. Excitement fills the air. Children dance around Santa has filled their stockings Love and hope abounds.	Christmas in Ballingarry by Rory O’Brien (6th Class) It’s Christmas in Ballingarry, And everyone’s at Mass People are excited The dinner will taste class. It’s Christmas in Ballingarry, Snowballs are being flung, Everybody’s happy, Baubles are being hung. It’s Christmas in Ballingarry, The village is so bright, Children cannot wait Santa’s coming tonight. It’s Christmas in Ballingarry, Decorations have been hung, Snowmen are being built While Carols are being sung.
Christmas in Ballingarry by Grace Egan (5th Class) It’s Christmas in Ballingarry The chimney needs a sweep. Poor Santa could get stuck But hey, we’ll be asleep! The church is all full For Christmas Mass, I’ll go to bed quickly And hope time will pass. I’ve got carrots for Rudolph And cookies for Santa And I’ve even left out A big bottle of Fanta. It’s Christmas morning, I open my eyes But there are gifts for my brother Surprise, surprise!
