Christmas bells and ribbons
Snow blanketing the ground
There is quiet, there is silence
In this sleepy, country town.
Breakfast in the morning
Scrambled eggs and pancakes, too
A cup of the best coffee
Piping hot …. made just for you.
Put on your hat and mittens
Your jacket and your boots
Heading into town
There is quite a lot to do.
A Christmas globe for Nana
A scarf for Papa , too
Some insulated thermals
And a pair of brand new shoes.
A slow and steady morning
It gets busy later on
Hope to get an early start
We won’t be gone that long.
Everything is so expensive
Hard to find the perfect gift
Let’s go to the Thrift Store
I’ll find something there,….that fits.
Carolers on Main Street
They say it’s going to snow
Santa Claus is coming
I hear him, “HO HO HO!”
Cups of warm, steaming, hot chocolate
They give it out for free
At a booth near the corner
Just beside the Christmas tree.
The lights and shiny tinsel
That sparkles in the sun
Christmas is upon us
The festivities have begun.
