Laughter arose amid the chilled air
Snowballs never saved for a future day
Parents sat beneath blankets so warm
No sound better than children at play
Giggles and smiles bring tears to the eyes
Times once forgotten remembered with glee
The holiday spirit brings hope for the future
Surprises abound beneath the Christmas tree
Yuletide greetings spread life and wonder
Problems forgotten if only for a short pause
A choir of voices herald the spirit of the season
Even unbelievers take heed of the name Santa Claus
Mangers and candles and stars once so bright
Take on new meaning at this time of the year
Nothing else matters during the holiday season
Peace on earth somehow now possible here
