Christmas Merriment

Snowflakes falling, falling all night My pine tree adorned, now illuminating under snow I brush and brush off, unveiling Christmas twinkling lights Giving the white ground a colorful glow An appearance of a Hallmark card, I must say My children gather around the tree in merriment Then one by one they form fluffy snowballs Laughing mischievously they begin to throw them at me Well you can guess what happens next Yep, before I was done they are covered in white Red face and cold we all go indoors for the night In front of the fireplace tired, beginning to warm We look at each other and started to grin Deep belly-laughs replaces the grins You can't have enough of a good thing For Nathan's "Christmas Joy" contest
