Almost Christmas

It is the happiest time of the year once more
Christmas is almost here with all its cheer
Everyone is in good spirits and singing so dear
Hearts are open and sharing love to all of yore.

Bells are ringing in the Holiday season,
Santa’s are sitting on every street corner,
Toy stores are ready for many orders,
It is a wonderful time with lots of reasons.

It is a happy time with goodness to all here,
Taking that moment and saying a thank you,
And of course thinking of wishing for a few,
Or giving a special gift of life to someone dear.

It is a time of unique occasions for all to enjoy
Christmas opens stories of an olden time
Turning the page of a book crosses a new rhyme
Smiles shine at the end of the chapter with joy.

It is a time for Christmas trees and decoration
The scent of pine brought in the spice of the year
Mom’s cookies aroma traveled far and ever near,
Hungry customers savored the sweet suggestion.

Christmas came with all the trimmings and delight
All gathered around the beautiful Christmas tree
Everyone sang  wishes of  Merry Christmas to thee
It is the most joyous day of the year this night.
