Last Christmas

Cards, ribbons, and bows tucked neatly aside, Frosty and Santa warming their toes, At home in the attic, they were our pride, With the season's specials and television shows, It was a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! Take a hand, take a hand, For everyone knows, In a wintery wonderland, With magic falling as it snows, It's a gift to be opened once a year! A stock of duckling and turkey kept for nibbles and snacks, Frozen cheesecake and berries paired in the fridge, New Year resolutions made as easy as stacks, Of chips and cookies forsworn, to every crumb and smidge, It was a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! Take a hand, take a hand, For everyone knows, In a wintery wonderland, With magic falling as it snows, It's a gift to be opened once a year! To buoy our hearts throughout the coming year, Baubles, fragrances, and melodies become fixed as the stars, To gaze at inwardly as though so very near, Every day will hold its mystery, just like Venus and Mars, It was a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! This poem is dedicated to the One whose birthday we celebrate, Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. The song which this poem is based on is Christina Aguilera's "This Christmas"
