A Snowy Christmas

A snowy splendor of freshly fallen white fluffy snow Blanket everything that has gotten in its way. It sparkles like glitter from the illumination descending light Of the stars, moon, and lights of the street lamps. A snowman sits in the front yard, With a black top-hat, a scarf around its neck, And an orange carrot nose, greeting visitors. The spindly trees and its branches Dress in white sweaters, A vision of arms with fingers. Colored Christmas lights decorate And light up the home’s eaves for holiday spirit. Candles sit, lit in the windows; beacons for friends and those that are traveling. A seat awaits around an inviting fireplace, With warm quilts for their laps, And servings of hot chocolate. A fresh cut blue spruce stands by the window Decorated with delicate old glass ornaments Handed down from generation to generation, Candy canes, toys, children’s handmade ornaments, A star to light up the top of the tree, Wrapped with strings of popcorn and cranberry garland. Homemade cookies and cakes waft through the air. Christmas Carolers out in the chill of the winter night, All warmed in stocking hats, wool mittens, coats, And snow boots, going door-to-door Warming people’s hearts. A Snowy Christmas a wonderful time of the year. 12/09/2014 Children Story
