A Christmas Tale
The season of enchantment beckons
Gathering a daily pace
kids are counting down the seconds
Until Santa shows his face.
Coloured lights grab your attention
Sway in breeze that hints of snow
Mince pies way too hot to mention
Egg-nog leaves a warming glow
Queueing cars, impatient people
All just wishing they were home
Distant bells from farthest steeples
Ring so loud their rafters groan
Shops all full to overflowing
With the gifts that we exchange
Fires alight with embers glowing
Pots 'a' simmer on the range
Families meeting lots of banter
Smiling faces fill the hall
Conversations at a canter
As the snow begins to fall
Christmas brings us all together
At this special time of year
A hope that this will last forever
With the ones we hold so dear.
