Christmas Tidings

`
Carols sung
Midnight clear
Stockings hung

Snow is deep
Santa’s near
Sound asleep

Wrappings torn
Children cheer
Christmas morn

This read so well, Chris and I loved the connection in verse one with a reference to the words of an actual carol 'It came upon a midnight clear...) which I presume was intentional. A very well composed and enjoyable rhyme,Chris.
