With breathless anticipation,
And smiles from ear to ear;
The children all around me know,
The holidays are near.
This is a time of magic,
Of family, hearth and home;
Expressing love and friendship,
Reaching out to those alone.
A wreath made up of holly,
Gifts gaily wrapped with bows;
Of Christmas trees and ornaments,
Egg nog and mistletoe.
A time for making memories,
That hopefully will last;
Remembering with happiness,
The holidays from the past.
Greeting cards with wishes
Of love, of joy, and peace;
Time honored traditions,
Help anchor our beliefs.
The soft glow of candlelight,
Bells ring out the season's cheer;
Restoring hope in all of us,
At this special time of year.
Cherish all these moments,
Find joy in all the giving;
Times like these give reason,
And make our life worth living.
When decorations are put away,
And the new year finally starts;
May you keep the seasons spirit alive,
Beating in your holiday heart.
