Christmas Spirit

Baking cookies, stringing up lights, 
Sipping cider on chilly dark nights.
Snuggling warmly on sofas or beds,
Kissing sweet little sleepy heads.
Wearing your slippers, lighting a fire,
Giving a hug to someone you admire.
Singing carols, staying up late,
Remembering why we anticipate.
Hanging mistletoe, wrapping the gifts,
Sending cards to loved ones you miss.
These are the sights, the smells and the sounds,
Telling us Christmastime is surely around!
