Door is open, welcome to come on in
leave worries outside...warmth of fireplace
from nose to toes, mittens and stockings hung
securely for Santa to overflow with happiness

Tree of my meadows, scents of peace to seek all
senses...such lovely decorations fitting...gifts of
joy tempting under the tree, but no shaking allowed

Rover, Rover roll over...scratch your tummy
ignoring deer lingering not far from the window
no harm to come beckoning Eastern Star twinkles

Feed the fire of faith with strokes of hope
over stuffed sofa...get comfy, bring on
the hot chocolate...shortbread cookies, old
fashioned family recipe to melt in your mouth
while marshmallows fluff mustaches of white

Midnight ending befitting Christmas Eve
never to forget Jesus the real reason
to keep the birth of CHRIST in mas
a time of beginning meant just for Us
