The
chilly
evenings,
evergreens
and
blustery
winter
breeze
The ice
and snow
and
sleet
combined
that
make you
start to
freeze
The
Christmas
trees,
the
ornaments,
the egg-nog
in a
bowl
The
stockings
overflowed
with
gifts,
the
stockings
filled
with
coal
Ol’
Saint
Nick,
Frosty
too, and
Rudolph’s
nose so
bright
Carolers
on
porches
proudly
singing
Silent
Night
Lights
on
houses;
blue and
green,
yellow,
also red
And
Jesus
sleeping
cozy in
His
little
manger
bed
The
spreads
of food,
the
families
bunched,
the
friends
of past
who call
The
scissors,
tape and
wrapping
gifts,
the
crowds
that
fill the
mall
The Deck
The
Halls on
radios,
the
snowballs
thrown
for fun
The
grandpas
with the
children
while
the
family
tales
are spun
The
wondering,
the
snooping,
the hunt
for
hidden
things
The
smells
that
burst
from
kitchens
that are
boasting
cherry
rings
The
grandmas
bringing
presents,
vacations
closing
stores
The
little
needles
from the
trees
covering
the
floors
The
four-course
meals,
the
peaceful
naps,
the
games
that
children
play
The
restless
reindeer
night-patrols
preceding
Christmas
day
The
aunts
that
bring
the
trays of
food and
church
on
Christmas
Eve
The
cousins
with the
brand
new toys
that
never
want to
leave
The
afghan
grandma
weaved,
those
corny
Underoos
The
Christmas
lights
around
the
house;
the ones
that
blew the
fuse
The
choo-choos
for the
kiddies,
the
fires
burning
logs
The
biscuits
wrapped
with
bows -
the
presents
bought
for dogs
The
catalogs,
the moms
and dads
that
form
those
elf-like
teams
The milk
and
cookies
halfway
gone
that
boosts
their
children’s
dreams
The
endless
streams
of gifts
that
flood
from
house to
house to
house
The
parents
up on
Christmas
Eve as
silent
as a
mouse
The
special
treats
for
spouses,
the
candles
that
enchant
The
everlasting
spheres
of love
that
parents
can
implant
The
angels
on the
mantle,
the
stockings
underneath
The
goofy
faces
children
make
with
candy-canes
for
teeth
The
wreaths
all
decorated,
the
popcorn
on the
trees
Nothing
ever
warms my
soul
like
Christmas
memories…
