Christmas time
This Christmas, the lights feel dim and cold,
A hollow echo of joy, a story untold.
The laughter around me, a distant refrain,
Each smile a reminder of heartache and pain.
The tree stands adorned, yet it feels so bare,
With ornaments glistening, but you’re not there.
The gifts

Christmas Time Favourite
Creamily melts in the mouth like butter
Comfort food that sets tongues aflutter.
Cups or mugs hold this rich luscious drink
Created from cocoa, sugar and milk.
Captivates taste buds in light, dark or white
Chocolaty goodness that's great day or night.
Christmastime favourite that always delights

Daze of Bright Ages
Dies, where did time go?
Lies, when I’d wrinkle slow.
Lids of eyes, crow's feet stomp.
Lads look away, see no pomp.
Lady, your silver hair is dyed.
Lazy joints take me for a ride.
Hazy is my history and mind.
Haze of clarity - need to rewind.
Maze of the season - nevermind.
Daze of bright ages, realigned.
Dame hears “Ho! Ho!,” fine silver

Family Christmas Time
Our family put up a Christmas tree,
In the presence of our cute dog, Pouchee;
Pouchee thought it’s a real one,
Peeing under has been done,
All received stinky gifts in the party.
Everyone enjoyed despite what happened,
Mom said, “There are things which we can't portend,”
While speaking on microphone,
Pouche came in with a racoon,
Mom paused to chase them both in

It's Christmas Time
Christmas is the time
To think of others
And forget about yourself
It's a time to love and forgive
On the first Christmas
The Lord took a step towards us
This time hope all people should step
Towards God this Christmas.

Unite Christmas Time
Green gifts that keep on giving
Memories of hazel holidays past
By our lavender lips keep on living
Telling of the happy times and bad
Reflection of Christmas lights
So festive in the chilly night
And in the children’s eager eyes
Excited for a Christmas prize
Yams on the old black stove cook
While mama pours sugar, dad looks
On coffee table is a holy

Christmas time
Christmas comes but once a year
A time of festive joy and cheer.
It is the season of goodwill
To have a break, relax and chill.
A time for sending cards and gifts
A time for healing family rifts.
Just put aside those arguments
Try to forget those dark moments.
Some of you may feel quite sad
The loss of loved ones you once

boom decorates herself at Christmas time
Boom decorates herself as if she were a Christmas decoration
What kind? I asked, sugar cookies, divinity or another confection?
More like a tree, her hair is full of bulbs, all silver and such.
I think I would like to meet her I tell him, I mean very much.
You would! He says, for I am dressed as Santa’s

It's Christmas Time
It's Christmas time!
It's Christmas time!
The lights are all looking fine.
Why the joy?
Now don't be coy,
Everyone expects new toys.
Songs for trees;
Sweet as you please;
A joyous chorus raise we.
Jingle the bells;
Stories to tell;
Heaven's victory over hell.
The gospel abides;
The Savior arrives;
The sins of man to imbibe.

Christmas Time
Merry Christmas time appears in sight,
coming for you out of the freezing night.
The stars sparkle on the snowy fir trees,
swinging to dance in the frosty breeze.
The wind whispers happy winter song,
the distant church bells ring ding dong.
On sleighs the children slide in delight
on frozen pathway in meadows white.
In sunset

It's Christmas Time Again
It's Christmas time again:
Carols are playing,
towns decorating,
and then parading,
showing their Christmas cheer.
It's Christmas time again:
Time for tree trimming,
with colored lights twinkling,
and hot cocoa drinking,
as excitement

Christmas time!
somewhere far away
in the middle of vast trees
under polar lights
winter starts to show
the dark face but with light eyes
~snowflakes falling down~
someone in Lapland
is preparing a huge sleigh
for special reindeer
to have a long trip
spreading happiness around
~from Santa Claus home
a humble cabin
in a magical dream land
full of glee to share
the season's wishes
~miracles wrapped as

Christmas Time
The wheel of time makes seasons come and go
The touch of their fleeting footfall I feel
Through my life’s meadow they all saunter slow
Their attributes have distinctive appeal
Nature prints unique image they reveal.
The ashen autumn sky loses the glare
In the cold span of calm clumps of cloud crawl
The frosty dawn feels the chilled touch

Christmas Time Is Different
CHRISTMAS TIME IS DIFFERENT
Christmas time is different, it now comes twice a year
More time for celebration, with family that is near
We’ve created another life style, in our golden years
Fitting in some southern seniors, as we’re shifting gears
We’ll gather in October, with our loved ones in the north
Then avoid the hustle and bustle, of travel
