It is fun and jolly

I could play in the snow fast

Then drink hot chocolate.

Hot cocoa ready

Steamy fire to keep warm

Stay inside from cold.

Arctic cold wind flow throughout

Passionless wind soars.

I want those presents so bad

I hate Christmas Eve.

Tasting that gingerbread house

Touching the cold snow.

Let’s have a cold snowball fight

Let’s make an angel.

Christmas Hanukah Kwaanza

Let’s play in the snow.

Dog eating the snow

Frozen feet and fingers, Ouch!

Making white snowmen

Rolling ball out of snow

Best time of the year!

War is infinite money

Is life worth just that?

With hot chocolate in my hand

And baked mint cookies.

You feel the icy crystals

Forming on your cheek.

The sound of ringing and chimes

The gifts are all mine.

I wish for a white Christmas

Then I’ll make snowmen.

And its dark inside my soul

Distress of winter.

Abandoned lies all alone

In a slush puddle.

Letting out its smoky scent

Burnt wrapping paper.

Getting all wet on my feet

Coming home to dry.

A mixture of taste and warmth

Warming the soul.

Bells ringing a famous tune

Bells sing bells ring bells.

Snowmen everywhere

Children sledding down the hills

Snowball fights erupt.

Spreading love and hope

Making this season brighter

Joy all around us.

Covered sweet white frosting

Made to perfection.

Are alleviated by

Chicken noodle soup.

Cookies and warm milk

All describe Christmas.

I love the silence -

The morning after it snows

Serene, calm, perfect.
