Dedicated to Dr. Paul Mariskanish-
-----------------------------------------------
Part I
Heavy locks of tinsel dress the tree top
Lovingly in lavishness
It'll change a little light in your heart now
Love is the season
How bright ends each year
My ol' love is near
My ol' love is near to me
When the wind blows snowflakes onto her head
And your laughing cause ya don't know what she just said!
It'll change a little light in your heart now
Love is the season
How fine life is here
The city swell and sharing
The cities swell in sharing
When cinnamon wafts thick the early morn,
Let's all feed the poor
And save the world
धर्मेभ्यः (Trans. For the purpose of Dharma)

(Poet translation)
Love Exists
And on and on and
Love Exists
and on because the
Buddha gives
To all who is.
Buddha gives.
For all who is
Is Buddha.*
Bundled in warmth
Our cozy houses filled with love
Bundles of Joy
We walk steadily through the snow drifts
into our homes, out from the void.
After all snowman,
Dressed in civil-ry i
In the frigid air,
They will tell everyone,
"Christmas is here!"
Part II
Dear Santa,
Won't you lend me your ear?
I've been real good this year.
I wish for just one thing you see
Underneath that Christmas Tree.
It fills the air with scents of something sweet
Joyous smiles on all that you meet
Good friends, old friends, and family too
Gather around, sing this Christmas tune:
"Christmas, Christmas, time is here
Time for joy and time for cheer
Don't be shy, just sing aloud
Bring that Christmas spirit out!"
Part III
(Christmas skit)
I'll be in my bedroom
It'd be Christmas morning
But the sky is pitch black
And laying here is boring.
Hmmm..
Maybe I'll just get up
To Fetch a glass of water
Nobody will hear me
I'll be very cautious.
Shhh..!
Squeeze between the doorway
Sneaking down the hall
Squeaky rotten staircase
They won't hear me at all.
Tip-toe in the kitchen
Everything is quiet
You could hear a pin drop
Wait - Is that Santa right there in
My house, Santa is right here in my house!
Quick go into hiding!
(I hope he didn't see me)
I can't make a noise now..
Else he will be leaving!
