Christmas Is Here Again

As welcoming lights pierce the night
Up and down the streets of our town,
Bringing on the Christmas season
A serene vision of the holy night of long ago
Covers the land.

Alluring streetlamps
Are welcome mats
That pave walkways in the glow of 
White falling from the sky.

It glistens 
And glimmers.
Snowflakes, in the future,
Enjoyed by children at play.

And visitors cozy-up
To homes of families and friends
As the holidays began;
To celebrate this Holy Day;
The Birth of Our Savior.
