~~~ CHRISTMAS MAGIC ~~~ Christmas Magic brings bells that ring, Mistletoe kisses and cardinals that sing. A tree all dressed in gold and red, a candle’s shimmering glow And frolicking children playing with, sleds on new-fallen snow Stockings hung by the fire, for all good girls and boys, Hoping that Santa will fill them, with candy, books, and toys. Christmas Magic is everywhere The sounds of carolers fill the air. Christmas cards arrive, from friends both near and far And Grandma’s baking cookies, to fill the cookie jar. The jingle of the sleigh bells and the clip-clop of the horse’s hoof The merry tale of Santa, upon your housetop roof. Christmas Magic is many things Christmas Eve church and choirs that sing. People that gather with those that they love Believing the Christmas Star still shines above.. May your Christmas Magic never depart, But live forever in your heart. Linda Hotger December 2006
