Christmastide



Ah the red and green. It’s that time of the year again. Trees and tinsel, and baubles galore.
Jolly music and flashing lights.
It’s that time again.

Stars, ornaments and bells. Making us full of that cheer.
It’s that time again.

Candy canes, gingerbread men and wreaths on the door.
It’s that time of the year again.

Stocking, angels and holly around every where we look.
It’s that time again.

Doves, mistletoe, Father Christmas and gifts adorned with bows.
It’s that time of year again.

A time to kiss under the mistletoe.
A time to give and receive.
A time for joy and celebration.

It’s that time of year again, it’s Christmastide.
