An eruption of presents

In red, and blue, and green

Holds nary an empty space

Amid this holiday scene

Packages piled high, waiting

Under the Christmas tree

The warmth of this season

Is blending perfectly

With silver bows and ribbons

And boxes on the floor

But, when we are together

The meaning’s so much more

Charlie does the moonwalk
While Lester checks the gifts
Bartholomew is wondering
What’s in the box he lifts

Seems Charlie doesn’t care much
About the presents left to wrap
He’d much rather dance around
Donned, in his stocking cap

Bart leans on his buddy
For a moment, does he pause
Where did Lester get the box?
Did he steal from Santa Claus?

It seems a shame to tattle
So he makes a deal with Les
“Give me the box, I’ll be quiet
So you won’t have to confess.”

Lester takes a moment
Then decides to take the chance
Grabs hold of Charlie’s pompom
And follows in the dance

Bart can see he’s defeated
Might as well join in the fun
Best to keep his secret
And now my tale is done

Sparkling white, like a shining star

Glistening softly, from where they are

The glory of Christmas begins to unveil

With beautiful lights, aglow, what a tale!

Of a jolly old man, who stopped by to visit

And brought with him, Oh! I wonder, who is it?

Why it’s his little elves, who wrapped up in bows

Toys for the kiddies, and everyone knows

When magic appears over skies, high above

It’s Santa and his reindeer, leaving packages of love

 

My Note: Had a few moments while sitting at the hospital, tried to think of happy things.  This is what I came up with   🙂
