Christmas Reflections
Christmas Strabane 2021 credit internet
A Christmas tree adorned with trinkets,
Silver tinsel glittering like frost.
Fairy lights sparkle and twinkle,
A glow of candles, for travellers lost.
When all the children are fast asleep,
Santa with a beard of snowy white,
Hitches up his sleight and reindeers,
Soars through the sky into the night.
Turkey, cooked roast and ham,
Mince pies, a glass of wine.
Christmas cake and plum pudding
A feast for all to dine.
Crackers pulled with gusto,
Break with a mighty crack.
Inside a motto and a hat,
And a piece of bric-a-brac.
Nativity scene, Christmas carols,
An Angel star, and good cheer.
Reminds us why we celebrate,
Christmas Day, year after year.
