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.
