Christmas

As snows gently coat the land Breezes softly brush it into peaks. Candles glitter and flutter in windows Deep shadows flicker in their light. Enchanting dazzling gems sparkling Frosty branches dress the clearing Garnishing the white landscape Hark! hear the sleigh bells tinkering It's Santa delivering the presents Jolly Ho-Ho's ring out as he passes Kicking the reindeer speed onwards Leaving a sparkling trail behind them Maples trees majestically line the path Nightingale's sweet tones ring out Over the snowy valley echoing Partridges plump and fat basting Quail are turning on the spit Roast potatoes crisp and golden brown Simmering vegetables steaming Toasted marshmallows all gooey Utterly delicious as they melt on tongue Victoriously the bells peel out With great Joy announcing the birth Xylophones cheerfully join in Yearning hearts beating in tandem Zeal fully they meet and mingle
