The Fine Art of Christmas

Last month of the year gathers hope and love,

True meaning of Christmas symbolized by a dove

With letters and prayers that St. Nicholas appears

Decorations---shopping to bring on good cheers

Thick snowflakes start floating a few days before

Adding to the spirit when making cookies—galore

Wrapping gifts late at night to hide the surprise

For Christmas day comes—eyes wide in great size

Tree is fashioned in a heartwarming display

Table arranged for the festive holiday buffet

House filled with warmth from God’s little gifts

In pajamas, they giggle and watch snow drifts

Church bells ring the morning our Lord was born

Who would’ve thought he’d die with a halo of thorn.

It arrives—celebrating the fine art of Christmas day,

Lingering memories of a jolly old man and his sleigh
