The Smell of Christmas

The smell of Christmas Looking through the kitchen Window starring at the sky Singing soft melodies As the hour passes by Snuggle beside my oven with A cup of coffee in my hand Watching the snowflakes fall Like a blanket covering the land The smell of pine aroma Lingers in every room And baking apple pies All after noon The smell of Christmas Somehow fills the air Lights twinkling on the tree And toys everywhere Friends and love ones Sat down for a talk With the holiday season Embedded in their thought Children around the fire Place eating cookies, and Drinking milk Dad relaxing in his chair After a long tiresome trip The holiday season is Bringing good cheer And the smell of Christmas Lingers near On a cold winter morning Drinking hot tomato soup And a jolly old man in His little red suit Ham, potatoes, to The table they bring A feast so good, its Fit for a king Prayers and love That fills the air And the smell of Christmas is everywhere.

Thanks Debbie. I love the holidays, especially Christmas because this is the time of year to express love and the reason for the season which is Christ our Lord. Thanks for visiting and I pray you come again.
