End of year, red berries ,Holly tree,

A heart warm time of year, family.

Turkey feast, yes all made,

Stories swapped, hates past, yes evade.

Crisp mornings, frost on tree,

Time for heart, time for glee .

Morning so quiet, pin drop hear,

Others down, say just another year.

A peaceful vibe, yes presents and more,

A family time, open heart to explore.

A simple family, child is bore,

Our saviour, yes to adore .

So happy Christmas, us to you,

Peace and love, in all you do

Wish of happiness,  joy to all,

Heaven listens, this time, past fall.
