SIGHTS, SOUNDS, AND SCENTS OF CHRISTMAS

Multi-color lights everywhere,
Old and new Christmas carols play.
Santa and his elves making toys, and
Nativity scenes with Christ in a manger of hay.

Scents of the pine and fir trees
Bought and decorated with ornaments,
And tinsel, strings of popcorn, candy canes--
With hints of bayberry, cinnamon, and mince.

Candlelight services at churches on
Christmas Eve.  Families together,
Sharing memories, good food--
Happiness and cheerful laughter.

Smells that come from the kitchen,
Baking started weeks before--
Pies, cookies, candies, everything
Anyone could possibly hope for.

Reading "Twas The Night Before Christmas",
Or possibly Christ's birth from the Bible--
The feelings that Christmas brings,
Have absolutely no rival.
