December wears a mantle white, Cedars bend with weight of snow. Crystal flakes cascading down, Thru’ amber rays of lamplight glow.
The air is crisp this winter’s night, ~ The skies an incandescent gray. All is still in my home town, For come the morn is Christmas day.
Feathered plumes of chimney smoke, They curl and swirl in slow arise, Looking like a Hallmark postcard, ~ Heaven’s hearth in realize.
Distant bells are ringing softly, Memories flood from long ago. When all was charmed ~ so pure and simple, As Old Man River, life did flow.
Boughs of holly frame each window, Christmas wreathes adorn each door. Mistletoe lends mirth to greetings, ~ Traditions from olde days of yore. Praise is sung thru’ Yuletide carols, Around a warming pine log fire. Merry moments to be cherished, Of faith and hope thru’ song inspire.
Together friends and family gather, Mirthful laughter fills the air. Joining in the feast of Christmas, ~ A time when all join in and share.
December wears a mantle white, Cedars bend with weight of snow. Crystal flakes cascading down, Thru’ amber rays of lamplight glow.

(does happy jingle bell dance) Yay! Awwwwwww, ever since I was Baby Mistletoe, December has always been one of my favorite months of the year because Christmas is the most happiest time of year and the whole month leading up to it is full of the warmth of the holiday season and the values of giving and sharing and peace on Earth! (kiss on cheek) Yay, this is soooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, and I wish you and all your loved ones a wonderful merry December, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!
Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you But if the bright lights don't receive you You should turn yourself around and come back home" MB20

I hope it turns out so nicely! Enjoyed, even if a bit early, and the snow has gone missing here this year.

Hi, Kraw!
We only have a light scattering of snow at the present time. I await the "mantle of white" so I can get out and make some serious snow angels! lol
May you have a joyous December! 
Warm hugs, EA
