Christmas Excitement

It was the happiest day of the year;
smiles galore and a tingling spine.
Christmas excitement with plenty of cheer.

People embraced me who are very dear;
wafting throughout was the scent of fresh pine.
It was the happiest day of the year.

Unwrapping gifts then alerted my ear;
ham and a yam dish along with red wine.
Christmas excitement with plenty of cheer.

Blackberry pie all at once did appear;
topped by vanilla ice cream oh so fine.
It was the happiest day of the year.

Radiant sun in a sky which was clear;
good is the mood when Sol offers his shine.
Christmas excitement with plenty of cheer.

Giving and caring and love were sincere;
wonderful stay when good things do align.
It was the happiest day of the year;
Christmas excitement with plenty of cheer.
