Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

Choirs of children singing gleefully Hand bells and ‘Silver Bells’ ringing Red holly and mistletoe ‘Deck the Halls’ In preparation for Christmas morning Snowflakes teasing a ‘White Christmas’ Traditions followed and being made Midnight Mass along with hugs and kisses Angelic ‘Silent Night’ throughout the land Solemn celebration of the birth of Jesus Children productions of nativity watched All praying for peace on earth and good will Ritual reading of ‘Jolly Old St. Nicholas’ to those Only staying awake from excitement and thrill Listening for Santa's reindeer landing on roof Smiling parents leave cookie crumbs as proof Written 12-15-2015 ‘Christmas Carols Contest’ by Kelly Deschler
