yuletide melodies yuletide joy joy at mistletoe joy with gifts gifts so costly gifts so dear dear like diamonds dear like lights lights so brilliant lights as candles candles flickering candles glowing glowing like stars glowing like smiles smiles from friends smiles from family family days family times times for carols times for bells bells are ringing bells of winter winter white winter dreams dreams of toys dreams of snow snow for sleighrides snow on trees trees on cars trees in houses houses decorated houses warm warm nice foods warm good thoughts thoughts of others thoughts of homeless homeless Christmas homeless kids kids with nothing kids with something something’s cooking something’s done done each December done with fun fun time for some fun through the years years of memories years of peace peace memories

You did the form really well, but missed the ... for the last two lines of the poem, however, I did not take that part of the form too seriously.. Congratulations on your placement in the contest..
