Christmas
by Riya
(Alwar, India)
House full of lights
A big tree shining bright
Snow all over the place
Everyone wrapped up in winter wear
Drinking cocoa and egg nog
Running to gift shops with hopes
Eyes shining with all the decoration
It is the most wonderful time of the year
Big socks hanging at the fire place
Watching holiday movies over and over again
Whole family is under one roof
Laughing out loud because of old jokes
Or old tales from past holidays
Isn't it amazing no one is scared
It is the most wonderful time of the year
A fix playlist playing again and again
Mom has made my favourite pudding
Dad took out his old white beard
And red clothes with red bag
Ready to spread cheer
Everyone is wishing each other on street
No one is stranger rather long lost mates
Kids have scribbled their wish on paper
Hoping santa would grant them
When he come to visit them on his reindeer
It is the most wonderful time of the year
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and an amazing new year.
