Warm cocoa and quiet nights

Sipping eggnog as we hang the lights

Pumpkin pie, turkey, and cranberry sauce

The whimsical toon of ‘Deck the Halls’

Friends and families sing and dance

Brothers and sisters joining hands

Baby Jesus in the manger

Joy is spread from stranger to stranger

Late night drives to see the light displays

Anticipation rising as we count down the days

Stars in the sky seem to twinkle brighter

Snow on the ground could not be whiter

Tree pine and peppermint permeate the air

Along with the laughter each family shares

Early morning calls from auntie, grandma, and dad

Everyone feels lucky to be so glad

We all attach memories to this one special day

We all hang on to it in our own way

The thing about Christmas that joins everyone

Is He who gave it all, God’s only son
