Anticpating the Thrill of the Holidays

Nippy air bites the skin, sunlight trails off in a sky so morose; bare trees contemplate the yellow grass below mourning their lost splendor; be that messenger of the Season's Greetings and avoid being sad and alone... welcome to my holiday home at this special time of the year! Assist me in decorating the pine-scented and candle-lit rooms , of my lair; please, come in and accept my hospitality with ardor; let's chat over dinner and sparkling wine until darkness looms... welcome to my holiday home at this special time of the year! Anticipate the thrill of the Holidays with a big smile spreading cheer: dream of snow, of Santa riding his sleigh from the cold North Pole; he'll remember every good kid who has shown obedience and grace... welcome to my holiday home at this special time of the year! I looked for a Christmas Tree crossing the snowy boardline, searching the nearest forest for the tallest, prittiest one with the help of neighbors who had a good will and no fear... welcome to my holiday home at this special time of year! So much I will share and learn this Holiday Season announcing a divine birth to the Earth below brightened by candles, twinkling lights and mirth; admire my decorations of garlands and golden bells to make you merrier... welcome to my Holiday home at this very special time of year! Family, friends and neighbors gather around this fireplace that will bewilder us, let's remember the wonderful birth of our Savior Jesus, who came to visit us; hear the song of the angels echoing through the chilly air... welcome to my holiday home at this special time of year!

You are missing the refrain that is to be penned for a Kyrielle, Andrew
