As the white flakes flew down

And fires warmed houses

I knew it was that time of the year.

Where little kids wore big coat

with hats and gloves

Snow covering noses like blankets

Faces red with blood

I knew it was that time of the year.

Houses glowed with lights and decorations

Homes filled with love and joy

Snowmen all where the eye can see

Family visiting from close to far

Children waking up in the morning

with all the gifts they can imagine with them,

I knew it was Christmas time for this year.
