the presents are wrapped
the lights twinkle on the tree
the air fills with anticipation
and scents of the season
cinnamon, pumpkin, and pine
the kids and grandkids
bake cookies for Santa
and try to be good just one more day
music fills the air
of jingle bells and silent night
setting the mood for joy and hope
from near and far the family
gathers together once again
love, laughter, and smiles will abound
Christmas Eve is here at last
we want it to hurry and get here
and we want it to never end
