Here comes another year. P3: “The best of all” by Alice Very December is the best of all Snowflakes dance, snowflakes fall. People see the New Year in – When December ends, it will begin. P5: “December” by Margaret Wise Brown December comes with white snow And cold winds begin to blow; From the cold and starlit sky; They fall softly in the night, All are still, all are white, P6: “The Runaway Snowman” by Hilda I.Rostron One winter`s day When clouds hung low, I made a snowman In the snow He stayed with me All next day The sun came out He ran away.
