Christmas

Christmas is a long song sung in winter, An epic poem written with white quill feather pen and Gold ink, and on clouds of paper, Beginning from a sneezing December to a Dizzying twelfth-calendar month, When snow drizzles gently into the souls of Those who hearken to the tinkling sound of The church bell which rings gently with the weight of The slow-passing season. I see whiteness in every song, with so much redness; Regal and romantic; flagrantly friendly. Oh, how pure! Oh, how sweet! Well, that’s Christmas. It lights up the courage in us to think right and assume Merriment in the warmness of some frozen hearts. It’s the best time of the year. I swear to this because I am a child of Christmas. It’s a time of fog and dew and sleet that rebaptise us. Let’s not forget the slanting rain whose liquid kisses us. And white Christmas of snow-carpeted lands and seas. There’s no other time or season like it. So full of gentleness and love, Christmas causes hearts to race s-l-o-w-l-y, As the year races on to breast the tape of seasons.
