Because It Is Christmas by Lori Yamamoto

The fairy lights are ready. So many colors. The raisins are in the food now. Because it is Christmas. Someone is calling. On the intercom. We run to put on. Merry Christmas (war is over). (Chorus) Because It is Christmas. Because it is Christmas. We decorate the small pine. With old, familiar ornaments. We roast the chestnuts. and drink the saki in the cup. And the cousin I have not seen. In a very long forever. Will arrive so hungry. For the strawberry cake. (Chorus) Because It is Christmas. Because it is Christmas.
