Christmas Wonderland

A Christmas wonderland greeted me immediately
Train delivering gifts to Christmas tree expediently
Miniature snow village with blinking lights gave thrills
Santa and Mrs. Claus dancing next to snowy hills

Knitted into stockings – Christmas cats and snowmen too.
Jesus surrounded with angels, in a heaven of light blue.
A nativity scene with a baby lying in a manger of hay.
A gingerbread house with frosting harder than clay.

Three wise men, one turned with his face to the wall.
He was hit yesterday with a grandson’s ball.
There are six trees – in different colors, all lit up.
They are dressed in themes by Ms. Buttercup.

One is full of bubble lights that make it incredible.
A gingerbread tree has a sign that says it is edible.
There is a color wheel that changes silver tree’s color.
There are tiny Christmas mice hidden one place or another.

It’s a magical place; we only get to see it once a year.
There are peppermint candies, and chocolate fudge near.
There is a cinnamon smell, and mistletoe hanging.
It is truly busy, but I am not complaining.

I wonder why we can't keep all of this love and joy year round? Have you ever wondered what became of the gold, frankincense and myrrh that the Baby Jesus got from the Wise Men? I have. Seems to me they would have made the baby rich. Also, did Joseph and Mary have last names? Just askin'.

Yes I have wondered and I am sure that Joseph and Mary were named Joseph and Mary Christsparents.
