Ode To Christmas

Smiles as we light up the Christmas tree
Giggles from little ones sitting on Santa’s knee
Caroling in the newly fallen snow is pure bliss 
Standing beneath the mistletoe hoping for a kiss
Snowball fights abound in the park
We’ll bake Christmas cookies and drink hot chocolate 
Children’s’ faces of joy on the twenty fifth 
Wide eyed with wonder as they open their gifts 
But the saddest day of the year comes next
Alas it falls on December twenty six 
We’ll sadly mark the calendar to start it all over, and then
agonize until it’s Christmas time again.

Ahh!! I like the contrast in the start and finish. Christmas has a special ending to the year for most. I hope this one is extra special for you this year. Sara K
