Christmas In My Town

The countdown to Christmas day begins A festive season of light and joy within Homes cleaned painted polished and buffed Bright colored lights frame front entry doors Of all the houses great and small In living rooms stand the grand Christmas tree What a delight for Father Christmas to see Beautiful ornaments hang on every branch Refreshing pine scent the whole house enhance The smell of cinnamon wafting over hibiscus shrubs Children run and play before bedtime soon Low in the sky hangs a full yellow moon Reflecting its brilliance on soft white sands Graceful palm trees dance to the warm ocean breeze As a billion stars blanket the navy blue sky Twinkle in celebration of Christmas in my town Entered in Carolyn Devonshire’s “Christmas In My Town” Contest
