Quotes A week before Thanksgiving, my mom was driving to my school. We were caught in a bad traffic jam, so she decided to turn on the radio. It was exactly 8:00. The announcer said these words, "Today is the first day Christmas music will be playing. Happy holidays! And our first song of the day is "White Christmas" My mom and I were both happy because they were Christmas songs that were playing. My mom said something about it being too early for Christmas music because it wasn’t even Thanksgiving yet, but I wasn’t listening. That day, I felt like writing a poem about it, but I didn't have any inspiration, so I looked at my old "Poem of the Day" assignment from school and found a poem called "Stopping by Woods On a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost. I wrote my poem sort of in that form, had the same rhyming pattern, and some similar lines. Quotes

The happiness I feel today
How happy I am I cannot say
For now I know that Christmas is near
When the Christmas songs begin to play

So now I know that winter is here
Although my mother must think it queer
She has not yet seen Santa's sleigh
She has not yet seen Santa's reindeer

Christmas is Near, Winter is Here
