1946

The Doc and the stork got together this year;
And left another bundle of cheer.
Faust and Becky have a new joy;
Another gist from Heaven, it's Danny boy.

Cupid struck (this year) a double blow;
And hit our family tree.
Jean and A.J. the first pull of the bow;
Then Wanita and W. E.

So Santa and Doc and Cupid, you see;
Are figures of speech with Mother and me.
But Christmas is REAL with the Matthews clan;
From the youngest child to the oldest man.
