The parlor’s trappings exemplify Christmas,
a charming room decked out in tradition.
A spectacular tree stands tall and proud
like a post card or Rockwell rendition.
A brick fireplace flaunting boughs of holly
is crowned in elegance by mirrored glass.
A chandelier clings to an oak ceiling
dangling mistletoe from curls of brass.
A miniature winter land frozen in time
is splayed on a rug from a master’s loom.
Candles glitter with a festive sparkle
and live poinsettias bring life to the room.
The magic of the holiday adds warmth
beckoning you to this fantasy place.
Tinsel and bright ornaments enhance the grandeur
creating a dignified picture of grace.
