Christmas Time

by

Laura Beth Leither

Christmas is the time to share
The time to give, the time to care
Everyone shopping all day and all night
The stores so crowded it's always a fight
The air gets cold but it doesn't snow
For here in Texas, snow and ice are real low
We don't go skiing or build snowmen
Instead when we're out it's like Summer again
Together we go to get a tree
And put it up for all to see
We untangle the lights and put them up too
Red, yellow, green, orange, purple, and blue.
Family and friends are over a lot
We'll go out and have fun or just sit and talk
Christmas Eve we're at my dad's
Being with his family isn't so bad
Back at home asleep in our beds
Can't wait till morning, It's Christmas 'nuff said.
Christmas Day we get up and cheer
For we got lots of gifts again this year
Friends and family will come over soon
We've got to hurry to be ready by noon
When they arrive we all do eat
Then open more presents, it's always a treat
Over to my dad's we go again
For Christmas with my step-mom and all her kin
We eat and open presents again once more,
It's always the same as it's been before
Now Christmas is over but that's okay
We'll always remember why we celebrate this day.
