The scent of pine trees in the air
evergreens stand out upon the hill
branches dressed with glistening snow
snow birds nesting among the the yews
Church bells ringing yuletide cheer
echoing excitement throughout the valley
a prelude to a the joyous season upon us
that leaves visions of childhood wonderment
small eyes searching the sky for flying reindeer
the sound of jingle bells in the December sky
Awakening to children"s laughter early Christmas morn
crackling embers flickering in the open fire
as the frost decorates the window panes
the anticipation of the morning was worth the wait
scattered wrappings leave a trail of happiness
squeals of delight from little voices of surprise
Traditions from generations past revisited
warm gatherings of abundant love fill the homes
heartfelt reunions kiss under the mistletoe
the season for love and understanding has arrived
