Notes About The Poem

Christmas Magic

Christmas is a magical time of year
Happy faces break into smiles of joy,
Reveling in celebration and cheer.
In the malls, kids ask Santa for a toy,
Swearing they've been exceptionally good,
Though parents believe they can do better.
Mindful to check his list twice as he should;
And donning an ugly Christmas sweater,
Santa is anxious to get underway.
	
Magic reindeer, fly high above the ground; 
Alighting on rooftops with Santa's sleigh,
Gliding from house to house without a sound. 
In the hearts of the children, fast asleep,  
Christmas is one tradition; they will keep.
