Here we are again
as cards and candy canes,
decorate our chimney.
The smell of turkey
mingling with cranberry sauce,
mouths watering
christmas cookies in the jar.
Mistletoe hanging
Just where we will step
Sweet tidings of joy,
swept around the neighborhood,
I find myself
singing "Silent Night"
as the holiday clatter
comes to an end.

Very nicely done
I like how you have cleverly used the given words, and managed for them to flow together without seeming "forced".
Nicely done
