For Laurie Merry Christmas

For Laurie Merry Christmas

Christmas magic tingles as if fairy bells were ringing in the air

Emitting a faint charming silver sound

A quiet little happiness

and its echo resounds

Deep within us

Announcing the joyful time of year



Sometimes the simple things at Yuletide are the best

The scent of snow in the air

The children's ruby red cheeks reminding us of

winter roses

Couples all bundled up in mittens scarfs and coats

holding hands and exchanging frosty breath

and joyful glances

Christmas time is a season of romances



Thoughts of Christmas past

the memories of sights and sounds

loved ones laughing and gathered around

Brightly wrapped surprises and mischievious eyes

Little ones trying to keep open their eyes

To catch a glimpse of Santa in his splendor

Delivering the delights to each house

But Ol Saint Nick is devious

He is quiet as a mouse



Colors of Christmas everywhere

Silver and gold

red and green

offset the drab winter brown and bleakness

apple cider and pine filled rooms

Kissing under the mistletoe

Enjoying our loved ones at their best

May this Christmas and all your Christmas's be blessed
