Winter Time & Christmas.

Church bells ringing.

And children singing.

Carol sings at the front door.

Snow like a thick  untouched white carpet

on the outside ground.

Twinkling, multi-coloured lights and Christmas

decorations adorn most homes

outside and in.

Along with have a Christmas tree

to top it all of perfectly.

Cats and dogs cosy and warm,

in front of an open log fireplace.

(If their owners have got one in their homes).

Or else, they are snuggled up on the sofa,

cuddled up,  to their human companion

for warmth and pure undeny love from them.

Children excited, full of wonder and sheer delight

at Santa's visit on Christmas Day,  coming real

soon.

Mums and Dad, preparing all. Food, presents,

drinks, fun and laughter, for the coming time for

one and for all, in the home to share such joy.

Old people in the care homes.

Looking forward to

Christmas Dinner with their friends and staff.

Pulling crackers and eating trifle and chocolate cake.

And family coming to visit them and give them

extra special gifts, to show how much they are loved.

Children stuck in a hospital

are waiting for Santa

to come, to see them all.

As someone told them. Santa

was coming in,

to check, they were all being good as gold.

Their little faces, they did just light up.

And the mums and dads they did cry tears of joy.

At that delightful treat in store

for their sick loved ones for Christmas ahead.

The homeless souls on the cold and wet sleet streets

hopefully, some will be lucky enough

to find a hostel or a shelter

for some warmth and maybe some food to eat this Xmas time.
