The willow and birch trees sway.<br />
There&#8217;s never been such a day<br />
At Christmastime in A.K.<br />
But it&#8217;s December the twenty-fourth<br />
Where is the weather that should be north?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m hearing of a white Christmas<br />
Just like the ones we used to know.<br />
Where the treetops glisten, and drivers listen<br />
To hear snowplows in the snow,<br />
I&#8217;m hearing of a white Christmas<br />
The jet stream&#8217;s wandering tonight,<br />
All the east is chilly, but bright,<br />
And the Christmas in Florida is white.</p>
<p>These Geoophysical Christmas Carols will be posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the rest of the holiday season. Enjoy! And sing along!</p>
