lived there in a tiny house together.
Jim and

Heather didn't have any gold

or coins or paper money to be told.

But this was usually not a bother,

One

Eve, it snowed and snowed.

Holly and candy canes all in a row.

Oh, I've got no money,
she cried.

Heather had an idea, quick as a flash.

Back through the snow she did dash.

Of course dear, plump

Jiggy said.

Choose whatever you'd like instead.

Heather saw a beautiful watch chain

It was as gold as butterscotch and
C
F
Jim had no chain for his watch.
C
Can I have this please?" she said,
F
Dm
and swapped the dress for the chain instead.

She knew
C

Jim's present was the best.

Jim came home later through the snow.

At home,

Heather's cheeks were all aglow.
C

Jim, I've got you a present! she cried.

I've got you one too, he replied.

Have you?

Heather
C
said surprised.
This was a
Christmas
Eve to be prized.
G
Here it is,
Jim said very excited.
She opened the parcel so delighted.

A huge, shiny blue bow was inside.
Heather stared at it wide -eyed.
G
Jim said,
C
It's for your special dress, sis.
Gah!

She said,
I didn't expect this.

Oh, don't you like it?" said poor
Jim.

Then she gave his present to him.
D

He ripped the paper wide open and

the watch chain sparkled inside.

Suddenly,
Jim gave a great guffaw.
Ha!

He giggled loudly at what he saw.
D
Dearest sis,
did you do a swap for this present at
Miss
Jiggy's shop?
Uh, yes, I swapped my dress,
she said.
G
Jim laughed more and shook his head.
C
I swapped my watch to get your bow.
G
Now your dress is gone. I didn't know.
But you swapped your dress for me,
A
and I swapped my watch, as you see.
Am
It shows how much we care for each other,
D
G
dearest sis, how we love one another.
