Reason for the Season~

Merry Christmas, one and all:)

Snow spirals down

From the night sky outside;

And sugarplum fairies

In the snowdrifts do hide.

Jack Frost skates

On the frosted windowpane,

And Christmas lights sparkle

On each candy cane

That hangs from the garland

Atop the staircase,

And across the room, stockings

Overhang the fireplace.

Gingerbread lingers

Fresh in the air.

Spices and potpourri

Add their own flare.

Tiny lights twinkle,

Strung ‘round the tree,

And soft music plays

Silent Night’s melody.

Pine needles and nutcrackers,

White, red, and green,

But atop the piano

Rests a nativity scene,

Reminding us always

Of the true Christmas reason-

Christ is the center

Of this joyful season.
