Christmas Season
By Charles Patiño

Tis the season to be jolly
Decorating all about with holly.

Tis the season for kids to decorate the tree
While Mom’s in the kitchen busy as a bumble bee.

Tis the season for Dad’s light show
Dazzling beauty on new fallen snow.

Tis the season for neighborly love
Slights forgiven - you rise above.

Tis the season for breaking bread
Exchanging gifts while laughing at what was said.
 
Tis the season for memories to happen
Just keep it mellow…no snapping.

For tis the season of joyful mirth
As we celebrate His blessed birth.
