Angel baby, child of light
You stand on tippy toes
Upon the holly berry branch
To catch the falling snow
Floating above your tiny hands
Still you reach for it, afar
Until, softly, it lands upon you
And you catch your falling star

Do you think they’ll notice?
Do you think they’ll see?
The one that hides inside
The stocking near the tree
He traveled down the chimney
Santa dropped him in the chute
Then he jumped into the silken sock
Looking magical, to boot
Hanging from the mantle
Adorned with holly leaves
Trying not to make a sound
Hoping they’ll believe
He keeps a silent vigil
Careful not to shakes the bells
He dare not wake the slumber
Of the family that dwells
So he’ll wait until the morning
In hopes they’ll keep him for awhile
For he is a Christmas Dragon
With a mischievous little smile

Dedicated to all the wonderful men who grace the malls and schools, and businesses, who give of their time to bring joy to the children, and smiles to the adults…I say Thank you 🙂

Twas the night before Christmas
The place was in tatters
Ribbons and wrappings
And empty cookie platters
With no time to waste
I had to move fast
The children were waiting
With lists in their grasps
I threw on my long johns
And fastened the flap
I hope I can get out of these things
In a snap!
With my belly all stuffed
And my white fluffy beard
Donned my red woolen coat
Wrapped in holiday cheer
Little eyes glowing, pure and simple, with glee
When they came and they sat upon my bended knee
The excitement I saw, was worthy of bliss
When they jumped off my lap, and blew me a kiss
Oh! What joy it brings to my heart
Making sure all was merry and bright
With my sack fully packed
And the sleigh on its way
Merry Christmas to all
And to all a good night!

She flies throughout the silent night
Above the shimmering snow of white
Bedecked in the colors of Christmas glory
Spreading the news, her mistletoe story
Of lovers who wait in an aura of bliss
Hoping to steal that one special kiss
As she quickly drops her petals of green
Then quietly vanishes, contented, unseen
