Tis the season…

Pine scent swirls

Through the house

Shiny parcels sit

Beneath tinselled tree

 

Colourful cards wish

 Festive joys

White flakes fall

In silent song

 

Rosy cheeks savour

Tasty treats

Orange flames flicker

With welcome warmth

 

Fairy light sparkle

In children’s eyes

Yuletide magic glows

Strong and bright

 

Christmas whispers

Joy and cheer

Goodwill to all and

A happy new year ©
