Pallas Athenea Merry Ghristmas. Tris winter time, december is here. These days are sighs of the expiring year That says good-bye to the naked trees And bids farewell with a loving kiss. Christmas has come tfis the time of joy For all the children who have a toy. ¡Oh merry Christmas! the people say And all the children run, shout and play. The nights are cold and the fierce wind blow Ontside while people are formed in rows Around the fire listening to tales Covered with wonderful magic veils. Long winter nights. Sweet nights of decembe I don't forget them, I will remember Always the nights which so happily I spent And then so quickly, so fast, they went. ¡Oh merry Christmas! heard everywhere. ¡ 0h‘Christmas night cold and bright and fair Don't pass so fast, do not go away. Always you come everybody is gay. ESPERANZA GARZA GARCIA.
