Christmas Atmospheres

Front door brings in nippy chill, You step onto the frosty path, No pleasant air for you to initial, Only a gut fight with the waft. But friends are warm and bright, Neighbours smile by their cars, Old friends get in touch, write, The hairdresser chats n’ chars.  What to give is a nice problem, What to write on xmas cards, Why not to give, there’s a hum, Of distance, you only give cards.  Relative’s personalities summed, Cousins hobbies are understood, Relations interests taken, gummed, And friends activities are all good. Jumpers are purchased for mum, Plus teapot, hand cream, soap, Quality Street purple is a chum, Candles jars are given in hope. Sporadic robins brighten and light, Kids build a roly snowman, just, Dogs walk in cosy jackets tight, And by-passers stop for a gust. Families welcome drivers’ eyes, When they look in the windows, With flashing lights, mixed dyes, In patterns, pictures, pure glows. The atmosphere at restaurants, Beckons xmas truth and tale, When others also have nuance, For special kin who chat, sail. No negatives divide and split, No text to state what to say, Greetings are heartfelt and lit, Your chat can be any old way. Church is optional, a possibility, But fires and heaters gaily blast, Radios aptly inform about activity, When Santa will visit stores vast. Decorations furnish, fill stores, Giant Christmas trees stand, line, Large baubles hang on all floors, Huge stockings see shoppers dine. There is a righteous business, In the air, filtering, at xmas time, It’s friendship and happiness, That's engineered, the told sign. The central focus is a snug meal, A slot saved and made for chat, Where for each person the deal, Is to converse, discuss and bat. All are welcome, all can have, Everyone can enjoy, participate, Each one can find peace, shove, Xmas with you does coaguate. Whatever the question, give, Everyone is part of Christmas, A smile, joke, a chat, a forgive, You can even restrain for a bash.
