Analysis of You Are My Christmas Wish



Please do not be lonely although you are only
The new guy all on his own.
It's hard to adjust to new jobs and must
Be hard at Christmas alone.

Please do not believe you cannot achieve
A friendship so soon as this.
Therefore, I invite you come Christmas night
For fun you won't want to miss.
