Analysis of Winter Holidays
Winter is supposed to be,
The best time of the year.
It’s supposed to be about giving,
And spreading holiday cheer.
Jewish celebrate Hanukkah,
For Muslims and Buddhist, it’s Kwanzaa.
Christians celebrate Christmas,
But to me, to be honest, it’s all about forgiveness.
It's all about happiness,
And snowballs and snowflakes.
With a cup of Apple Cider and the fireplace on,
It’s about shopping and music and a movie marathon.
Occurring just before each New Year,
The one thing that's clear,
Hot cocoa and Eggnog are required
During this time of year.
The truth is, Winter is about all these things,
But above all, it's about family.
