Anticipation of snow and faces a glow

The Christmas season is nigh

Children writing lists of gifts

Waiting for Santa to fly

A wonderful buzz of excitement

Through every street and town

All around are beautiful colours and lights

To relinquish any frown

Shopper’s hustle and bustle for gifts of pure delight

Then rush and huddle into bars to escape the frosty night

It’s a time when strangers become the best of friends

Whilst they share among the cheer

As after all this merry season comes but only once a year

Let’s hope this Christmas is the best one yet

With laughter, fun and tears

A magical, memorable, medley of fun

To last thorough the year.
