Returning Home

Back from my trip planning a route,
preparing landing I give out shout,
thankful children believe without doubt.

I've always loved the golden glow
reflecting off pale, silver snow.
Welcoming warmth waits below.

Fluffy ambrosia-like mounds
circle love's little compound.
Holly berries, mistletoe abound.

Helpers bustle, polish yon sleigh
next to rustic stables, there reindeer stay,
so able, ready, soon, "up and away".

Studio sanctuary where magic gets done,
hums with sounds of laughter, much fun,
designing presents for everyone.

No charcoal this year, forgiveness is best.
last finishing gifts receive Q-tip test,
near time earnest elves have well earned rest.

Some say "one night", an impossible feat,
millions, both boys plus girls deserving treats.
I'm not swayed, listen, you'll hear hoof-beats.
