Christmas in
winter, white swirling snow
Traditions
carried over from so long ago
Birth of the
Saviour, Bethlehem star
Guiding
believers, light from afar
Flaming
poinsettias, smooth leaves of holly
Season of
merriness, gaiety and jolly
The Christmas
tree sits decked out in lights
Stockings on
branches, angel at heights
Scattering
pine needles without reprieve
Longing
glances at presents on Christmas Eve
Meal on the
table, turkey and game
Egg nog and
cookies, pudding aflame
Family
reunion, gathering of friends
Stories and
banter, making amends
Warmth and
good cheer, sparkling and bright
Santa slips
down the chimney to wish you goodnight
