The hustle, bustle of most everyone
This time of year, always on the run
Trying their shopping to finish soon
Can then sit back and listen to a Christmas tune

Children are playing with happy glee
Helping to put up the Christmas tree
So pretty with all the decorations
They are getting ready for all the celebrations

Of parties with friends and their families
Exchanging of gifts put under their trees
The trees are put in front of their window
For passerbys the decorations to show

Out in the yards, just take a look
Can't imagine how much work all this took
With lights everywhere, sparkling and blinking
Some places they are put took much thinking

All around the bushes outside
And around the windows all on the inside
Oh, how very, very pretty are they
Blinking and sparkling, as if they play

Looking at them, they seem to dance
We walk amongst them, getting more than a glance
Being every beautiful color you can think of
Each strand put in place with so very much love

Looking over there, baby Jesus, with an angel, you see
And over there's an old Santa, who's smiling with glee
Then there is Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
Leading Santas sleigh without any fear

Each year looking forward, all these decorations to see
They are not just for children, but also for you and me
For Christmas time is almost here
Just feel the excitement in the air

Seasons Greetings Ethel Mae !

You certainly have raised the Christmas excitment meter up a notch or two!

hugs, Chris

Perhaps the best Yuletide decoration is being wreathed in smiles ~
