Christmas is but once a year
And what a magical time.
Hymns and kind wishes
As bells begin to chime.
A warm and cozy fire.
Pine scent in the air.
Billowing-chimney smoke
Sending friendly flares.
Family and friends
Exchanging gifts and cards.
Cooking and Caroling.
Embellished house and yard.
Like the bulbs on Christmas trees,
Spirits are so bright.
‘Tis a time of miracles
As hearts change overnight.
Ballerinas dancing
And twirling all around.
Folk so amused
By the festive sights and sounds.
Then the snowman melts.
And 'POOF! ' All is gone.
Ornaments rest on shelves
As life reverts to norm.
But the hymns and carols
Continue to chime on
With a message that's yet powerful
When the Season is long gone.
Wow! This creats a lovely mood. So beautiful, and it brings all sort of Xmas memories to mind. (-M.E. from FaceBook)
