The Christmas Spirit

~ 

Old bins filled with ornaments and trinkets

trees get barer and whiter

we bundle in our blankets

holding our hot chocolate a bit tighter

The christmas spirit glistens

as carolers go knocking and tapping

jolly melodies invite a listen

pausing our holiday wrapping

It's christmas morning, exactly 12 o'clock

the pine scent yearns for my presence

I toss and turn, watching the tick and the tock

forbidden to wake my parents

Merry christmas!
