“Perhaps the best Yuletide decoration,
Is being wreathed in smile.”
Author Unknown
I had spent most of the day
Decorating the pine outside
I had now finally finished
Tired, but filled with pride
I gathered our little family
As dusk was now closing in
As I turned the light switch on
Our Holiday Season would begin
And just as all the lights sparkled
He materialized out there on our tree
He seemed to be gazing at its new star
As he sang out, “Pretty, Pretty, Pretty!”
It was as if he, too, had been waiting
To see what this Christmas would bring
My wife and I smiled as we heard his song
Before darkness came, and he took to wing
And now I hope this tiny star gazer will return
And that he’ll visit all the Holiday Season long
We had soon decided he was the best ornament
With his very festive color, and his merry little song
And if we’re extremely fortunate this Season
He’ll bring his entire family, to visit our tree
A delightful Yuletide Chorus of little carolers
Would most definitely fill our hearts with glee
