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

Would you believe I carefully wound lights up and down each rail of my balcony... and never connected them? *S* Disconnected December... story of my life. *S*

I too love the decorations of the season - the cheer of the colored lights in the dark chill of winter warms my heart -

Delightful-

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

Oh Ethel, I love ever so much decorating for the holidays, sweet friend, I believe the more colors and glitter, the more holiday spirit you bring to the house, and being the Mistletoe Angel, I even love to wear holiday tie-dyes during this time of year including my green, red and white tie-dye, yay! (kiss on cheek) This is precious, sweet friend, Happy Holidays, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing!
