Description
Christmas Senses
to Kirsten, who actually started, and I finished

I smell the ginger-bread people,
with their icing and gum-drop buttons.

I can taste the warm hot coco,
with its fluffy-white marshmallows.

I can see the bright green wreaths,
donned with their gaudy red bows.

I can hear the joyous music,
being played on the grand piano.

Everyone's laughing and dancing
enjoying the Christmas cheer...
while deep into the night,
Santa shall disappear.

Back to the North Pole
he goes, with all his
reindeer leading him there,
calling them out, one at a time,
"On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer and Vixen.
"On Comet, on Cupid, Donner and Blitzen!!"
and with a last jolly "Ho-Ho!" his voice, ringing loud,
called, "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Good Night."
and as the children and parents all through the square,
looked out through their windows, into the
late-Winter air, as no other than
St. Nick himself disappeared
'til next year.
