The Best
Christmas Present
this year will be spending it with my first Grandchild
at his Mom and Dad's home Christmas Eve.

HANG UP THE BABY'S STOCKING

Hang up the baby's stocking
Be sure you don't forget!
The dear little dimpled darling,
He never saw Christmas yet!
But I've told him all about it,
And he opened his big blue eyes;
And I'm sure he understood it-
He looked so funny and wise.

Dear, what a tiny stocking!
It doesn't take much to hold
Such little blue toe's as baby's
Away from the frost and the cold
But then, for the baby's Christmas,
It will never do at all.
Why! Santa wouldn't be looking
For anything half so small.

I know what I will do for the baby.
I've thought of the very best plan.
I'll borrow a stocking of Grandma's,
The longest that ever I can
And you'll hang it by mine, dear mother,
Right here in the corner so!
And leave a letter to Santa,
And fasten it in the toe.

Write- "This is the baby's stocking,
That hangs in the corner here.
You never have seen him, Santa,
For he only came this year
But he's just the blessed'st baby.
And now before you go,
Just cram his stocking with goodies,
From the top clean down to the toe!
