I awake to the scent of hot crescent rolls baking in the oven, and the sound of grandma wrestling with pots and pans. Then I realize this is Christmas morning. I jump from my warm bed and run downstairs with much anticipation. Sure enough, Santa found his way to our house, there seems to be presents for everyone under our tree. Such a joyous time is Christmas day, making memories to last a lifetime.

What a lovely form of poetry, I had never seen it before. Your Christmas' sound a lot like mine were as a child growing up.
Great background/border, it is a great fit.
