My Holiday Home

An outside garland green and white
across our porch top glows by night.
In the yard, heads nod on reindeer!
Welcome to my holiday home at this special time of year.

Inside my house, see right away
the greeting cards that I display
on the hall wall, near the mirror.
Welcome to my holiday home at this special time of year.

Inside the living room, you’ll see -
trimmed red and gold - our handsome tree
where all our loved ones gather near.
Welcome to my holiday home at this special time of year.

One table has the manger scene.
The shepherds and the Magi lean
to worship Him God deemed most dear.
Welcome to my holiday home at this special time of year.

Another table, fun to view,
holds figurines, more than a few!
There’s angels, snowmen, Santas here!
Welcome to my holiday home at this special time of year.

Inside my kitchen, smell the treats!
There’s Chex mix and a lot of sweets.
Let’s make a toast to Christmas cheer!
Welcome to  my holiday home at this special time of year.
