Iridescent glow

Against the color of night

Glistens purity

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

Santa Claus

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!

reindeer-1503666_960_720She 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
