I Write In 2020

The Heavenly Scent of Christmas

Gingerbread dance with glittered decor;
Their gumdrop eyes hold sweet secrets
Of packages wrapped with tinseled bows
Hidden in closets, just out of sight.
Breathe in the freshness of pine tree wild,
String popcorn still warm from the popper
As scent mingles with sugar cookie delights
And hot chocolate perches in white mustache
up top curved smiles filled with laughter.
The holiday season swoons
As fresh roasted turkey fills the warmth
And family gathers by the hearth
To sing traditional carols
And celebrate the birth of a Saviour.
