    Christmas carolers sing there beautiful tunes
    as I walk pass the bright streets of Christmas morning

    I greet the falling snow flakes with a warm smile
    reach out to grab one and let it melt in my hands

    Peppermint roams in the air
    pine plays around my nose
    sending a sweat smell

    I peak around the next block
    freezing in place as i see all the beautiful lit houses
    I run up to mine
    small yet beautiful

    I dance around the front steps
    my heart beating fast
    the door opens and i huge my mom tightly

    I never felt so happy before
    I look up from my moms welcoming huge

    and there they all are
    all in a bunch
    like a perfect picture family

    I never longed to return home
    but as i stand there my face lit up like a Christmas tree
    viewing each person
    and i think i finally feel what this Christmas thing is all about

    After all are hard times
    and all are fights
    i feel nothing more then love for each and every person in front of me

    in the corner of my i see a sprinkle of snow fly across the room
    the smell of peppermint fills my nose once again
    a chuckle comes from the corner

    and a sneak a glance
    but there's nothing there...
    I look down to see a small mitten
    the colors of red and white

    i smile grows in every one
    i turn back to them
    open the mitten
    and sprinkle little bits of peppermint around them

    each and every one
    go a little red in the cheeks
    there noses red and plump

    it's times like these...
    that Christmas is all about
    and I wouldn't miss it for the world

    to spend this time of year with the ones i love truly
    taking just a second to remember the times that i hold so dear

    to simply have...
    a wonderful Christmas time.
