‘Tis the Season…
…of warm sugar cookies
and jingle bells ringing;
of sleighs full of toys
and carolers singing;
of Santas and Scrooges
and tinsel and lights;
of long snowy walks
with a loved one at night.
‘Tis the season of
decking the halls with bright holly;
of cards sent from
friends telling us to be jolly;
of silver and gold and
eight tiny reindeer;
of cups of eggnog laced
with holiday cheer.
‘Tis the season of
watching It’s a Wonderful Life;
of celebrating the
birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ;
of wisemen and angels
and wreaths and a star;
of a Noble fir tree
tied on top of a car.
‘Tis the season, my
friend, when joy fills our hearts;
though military
missions may keep us apart.
So when stockings are
hung by the chimney with care,
‘Tis the season of
Christmas, “Peace on Earth” is my prayer.
