Of December

White lights
against the snowfall
people rush tonight
to wallpaper the mall
with paychecks in hand
with the a wintery shiver
listening to the marching band
all these things are of December

Frozen nights
icy breath in and out
boney trees covered in lights
on the streets, out and about
with lovers hand in hand
in a winter shining of silver
moon is full over the land
all these things are of December

Happy Holidays, honey
with your cheeks red
and your smile is funny
Visions dance in your head
of lights on a Colorado fir
this is the majesty of December

A time memorial
etched on your heart
a familial pictorial
splashed in watercolor art
with eyes opening at 6 a.m.
to a wonderland you'll remember
listening to the weather man
all these things are of December

Happy New Years, baby
a new beginning?
Well, just maybe
You can hear them singing
by the fire's stirring embers
this is the majesty of all Decembers

For home and family
I feel like a star atop a Christmas tree
I'll always surrender
to the things that are of December

You captured it.  Pleasantly reminiscent.
Happy Holidays
