Enchantment of the Holiday

Warmth and passion through the air
Emanating glow
Garlands flying everywhere
Sparkling through the snow

Cherry pie and candy canes
Sugarplums in the mist
Elves are working day and night
Santa checks his list

Children's fingers sticking tightly
From the candy treats
Heat flickers through the fireplace
Carolers warm their feet

Snowmen beckon lightly
Urging snow ball fights to begin
Families make snow angels
As do cherished friends

Egg nog swirling in the cups
While we sit to rest
Christmas carols playing
Add magic to our fest

Christmas trees have spread their arms
In all majesty
Tinsel fall like tear drops
Angels sing in glee

We have found our haven
In this blessed time
Miracles await us
As Christmas is divine
