Christmas Trees

They sparkle and glisten, making an average tree great,
With reds, blues, and yellows, and decorations first rate.

Some have all white lights, which look pretty classy,
And others are color lights, which some say are tacky.

I love them all, for they represent Christmas,
Something pretty to look at, while we wait for St. Nicholas.

At the top you will find, an angel or star,
Like a message from heaven, watching down from afar.

As we near the big day, under the tree starts to fill,
With presents galore, I still find it a thrill. 

When the day finally comes, the Christmas tree's job is done,
It protected our secrets, and wrapped presents bar none. 

We take down the decorations, and save them for next year,
When we will wish you good tidings, and more Christmas cheer.
