A Traditional Holiday Greeting

Sparkling a tree Holiday decorated for all to see Draped in colorful lights Shining powerful and bright Showing a path that is right Celebrating indoors being a wilderness winter candle Festive next to empty stockings lining the mantle Waiting for someone to arrive Dropping off gifts riding a sleigh in the sky Proving believing in faith is no lie A hypocrite may say this does not happen Claiming too much beer came from the tapping Disregarding happy thoughts and glittery wrappings For this birthday was never a fake Proclaiming a miracle when the world starts to awake Reminding us this child was needed when civilization was at stake As part of the once-a-year deal Friends and love ones gather for a turkey and ham meal Leaving all a joyous feel Dessert concludes featuring cookies and candy While adults find room to sip some brandy Creating a setting that is cheerful and dandy Ending this special day Where peace had its way
