Christmas Tree

Pagan roots you say The joy of Christ it now displays Whatever it was it no longer means Christmas cheer our tree now brings So celebrate this joyous holiday With Christmas trees in every way Be they real or artificial Decorate because they are special Stream with lights that twinkle And colorful paper that crinkles Beautiful bulbs of wood or glass New for the year or treasures of the past Ribbons and garland, tinsel and candy canes Cute stockings with everyone's name String with cranberries and popcorn Hang with ornaments of drums and horns Cookies baked and swirled with icing yummy They won't hang long but end up in full tummies Presents chosen with love and care Bring togetherness with joy we share At the top an angel or star Displayed in the front window, it beckons far Guiding family and friends to come in Home to celebrate with the love within
