Week 49 of 52 - Early Christmas Special

There is no snow lightly falling
Nor the sounds of trumpets calling
But the sun shines its light of gold
As African drums beat rhythms of soul
For South Africa’s Christmas time
With food and joy and song sublime
Is one of warmth and not of cold
Full of magic, a mystery untold
The lion bows, the cheetah plays
They all know this glorious day
-unknown


Christmas in Africa
under a Southern sky
Where mountain mist
meets the seaside kissed
And a penguin waddles by.

Christmas in Africa
under a Southern sky
Where the bush pig roams
far away from home
And a sunbird sings on high.
