So this is the time\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time of year\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We celebrate Christmas\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With holiday cheer\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its really all about\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family and friends\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not expensive gifts\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or the latest trends\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience this holiday\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a wide open heart\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not race through the stores\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Till we all fall apart\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was never intended\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be this way\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was meant for reindeer\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Santa in his sleigh\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mistletoe hung\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And garland galore\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colorful lights\u2026..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From ceiling to floor\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great big tree\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About 10-feet tall\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And an angel perched\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A top of it all\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Large silver ornaments\u2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garnish each limb\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

String the popcorn\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s just the right trim\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few hand made ornaments\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To finish the rest\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a few pine cones\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that is the best\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wait one more thing\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Has to be hung\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peppermint candy canes\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it is done\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A large plaid skirt\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To cover the base\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around the edge\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trimmed with lace\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snug at the trunk\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With just the right fit\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A place for Santa\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To place all the gifts\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time for dad\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To come and see\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What mom and I \u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did to the tree\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.Just a few more days\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until he is here\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big red suit\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And a bright white beard\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pair of black boots\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a belt buckle too\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A red and white hat\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That matches his suit\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He flies into town\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every Christmas Eve\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know how he gets\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Down the chimney with ease\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With A big sack of gifts\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He sneaks through the house….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stuffing the stockings\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before he heads out\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At just about midnight\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you look into the sky\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will see a fast streak\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don’t blink your eyes\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you put out\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The milk and the cookies\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe he won’t remember\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time you played hooky\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you stay real quiet\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might be able to hear\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santa up on the roof\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With his reindeer\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you wake up\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the crack of dawn\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you stretch\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And have a big yawn\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run down stairs\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without making a sound\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All by yourself\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try not to fall down\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catch a snowflake\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the tip of your tongue\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like a child\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we were young\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Merry Christmas\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comes only once a year\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Say I love you\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And have no fear\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reach out to others\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do what you can\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why not volunteer\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And lend a hand\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
