and there’s candy canes
in the grocery store
already.

I guess Pilgrims

Candy canes
Happy families 
Rudolph's red nose 
Important memories
Singing carols
Telling stories
Making cookies
Angles 
Sipping hot cocoa...

Deck
The tree
With popcorn
Garland, then some
Candy canes and gift cards.
Then add some lights
Flamboyant ones;
Presents

Winter

Beautiful snowfall

Lights in all the homes

Tall dark green tree in the street

Ice rank for the kid in us

Hot chocolate 

Candy canes 

Christmas Globe is where I want to be...

Lights on the roof, in every tree.
Candy canes line the walk, come see,
old garnishments, many a kind;
can't leave any blow-up behind.

My all-time favorite books include Christmas in some way
Santa Claus, Jesus, North Pole and candy canes dancing away
Frosty and Jack Frost are on the fringe of my utmost fave.
Christmas messages, stories and songs are what I crave....

Pretty Santa hid out with the candy among the candy canes.
He liked being gorgeous and being the one with the brains.
His elves were looking for him, but he stood perfectly still.
They ran right past him, yelling “Have you seen him Bill?”...

candy canes
 adorn trees

 place gifts
 under there

 bulbs blink
 toast drink

sweet songs
 croon along

Choir sings
 about peace

 Santa Claus
 Jolly fella

Festival lights and sights
A whirl of fancy and flight
Bells and stars and candy canes
Frosted patterns on windowpanes

Tinsel and glitter all a-glow
Mantels covered with mistletoe
Amidst all the splendor, let us remember
Those without homes or fireplace embers...

Candy canes, sugar cookies and more
Sneaking joy into stockings galore
Except for Uncle Bob
Who was always a slob
His held brush, comb and blade he’d ignore

memory overload
Christmas caroling
smell of ginger bead
colorful frosted cookies
elf on the shelf
scent of vanilla
striped candy canes
sparkling Christmas wreath
pointed holly with red bulbs
some mistletoe fun
white fur Christmas muff
shiny silver bells
nativity scene 
Jesus’ birthday
Christmas...

Christmas.
Holly, ivy,
Fur tree and candy canes.
Lashings of gravy, turkey crown,
Baked sticky pudding, helpings of mince pies.
Crackers, charades, family fun,
Candlelit mass, carols.
Joyful smiles this…
Christmas.

Creative Christmas Candy Canes 
Crunch cinnamon crusts 
Chasing and carousing, 
Curious cousins with cruising curiosity

Searching for Spend-thrift Santa 
Singing Silver Bells, 
Sugar Plum Sensitivity
Sashaying and swishing across stage

Lots of lively laughter
Luxurious lighting
Light hearted loveliness 
Looking toward next year’s Christmas...

Never had a Christmas tree
  or some mistletoe
No wreath of holly on my door
  just a mezuzah there, you know

No stockings stuffed with candy canes
  or Christmas decorations
Never sang a hymn to Jesus
  Torah's my inspiration 

Yet just as Christians can appreciate
  the flames of Chanukah lights
So too can a Jew like me
  sense magic Christmas night...

How i want to be as tall as a tree
or slower than a mower.
I dream of happy days and candy canes,
or something slightly cooler.
NO school, don't drool! 
It's time to say hey!
Get out of the van and get a tan.
In the summer sun, tons of fun!
On opposite sides, Oh don't cry!
On summer's team, we'll cream those beans!
As i dream of happy days and candy canes!...

Little hands and little feet.
A precious gift for us to keep.

Close your eyes and dream sweet dreams;
of candy canes and choo choo trains.

Little Angel, spread your wings and fly.
Mother will sing you a lullaby.

Like a thief in the night; you stole my heart.
A prisoner of love, Till death due we part.

Little hands and little feet. 
A precious gift for us to keep....

The air is cold and dark as the night,
The world outside is covered in white.
Gathered inside with mugs of hot tea,
Admiring the beautiful christmas tree.
Snowflakes swirl in a gracious dance,
Deer in a forest leap and prance.
Sucking on minty candy canes,
Snowballs crashing against window panes,
Happily singing a Christmas tune,
Ornaments shining in the light of the moon....

Gingerbread house
Ice cream cone tree
1 piece of candy for the house
2 pieces for me

The air is full 
With the smell of molasses 
I need to lie down 
As my blood sugar crashes

Cookies, Candy canes 
And a Hershey's kiss
Belief in Santa, youthful metabolism 
These are things that we really miss

December is great
My favorite you bet
The next 11 months 
Trying to get out of debt...

Gingerbread houses have been pretty of course
But this one is amazing, the best I have seen.
The red and white peppermint are lovely as Norse
The striped candy canes are incredibly clean.

I want to bite in, or at least tear off a chunk.
But I dare not do it, for it is perfect as is.
Uh-oh. Did something fall off the back with a thunk?
I may have to take a taste to see if is as tasty as fizz....
