For Christmas

For Christmas

I like boats and planes and trains,
But for Christmas I want candy-canes!
No dogs, no cats, no acrobats;
For Christmas I want fancy hats!

I want it all; ribbons and wrappings,
To be carried by pigeons, of course not lacking
In holly and jolly and jingly bells,
With candles and flowers and things that smell.

The fairies will fly by my window,
With dresses and gowns of deep indigo,
Their sparkly trail leaving wishes for centuries,
Their soft charm blowing spirit through the trees.

For me; I wish that what I could give,
Would fill Christmas with happiness so magic can live

But for Christmas, all that I want is quite plain;
For Christmas I want candy-canes!

-Ariana Kulikov, 2015
