December, starts 

It’s almost here 

Children’s favored 

Time of the year.

–

A time of gifts 

or presents too

Shopping and chores

A lot to do.

–

Baking cookies

String up the lights

Put up your tree

Such wondrous nights.

–

Using fingers 

the children count

Days till Christmas

They work it out.

–

Weather turns cold 

This time of year 

Winter’s wonders

Fill us with cheer.

–

Kinder gestures 

People unknown

Our warmth festers

When not alone.

–

Holidays close

Just weeks away 

Twenty four days 

Till Christmas play.

–

Make it our best 

Winter season

Kindness and warmth

Our best reasons…
