Christmas Wishes

Snow is falling, covering everything in town with a shimmering,light, fluffy, white thick blanket of snow Tall, bare, maple trees are lined up on the side of the road like sentries standing guard The lamp posts are lighting the streets and the clock tower bells are ringing, letting everyone know the time A horse with a wool blanket, harnessed with a wood hames, and blinders keep him focused on what is up ahead, pulling a farm wagon, being lead my his owner, carrying supplies, is trotting down the road It’s evening, and big brother is pulling a sleigh with his baby sister and brother all dressed in their warmest clothes, heavy wool coats, hand knitted hats, gloves, and scarfs around their necks, wrapped in a warm blanket in the sleigh A stray dog in tow He stops in front of a window that is decorated with garland, pine-cones, and gold and red Christmas tree ornaments displaying a variety of toys They all stare in wonderment wishing Santa would bring them some wonderful toys A Lionel train set for me, A red Raido Flyer wagon for my little brother, And a doll and doll house for my baby sister.
