Top Of My Christmas List

A week before Christmas here in Florida And the temperature is high- 76 degrees under a clear blue sky The outside of the houses are decorated from the roof to the ground As the late shoppers are running all over town, searching For presents that were never found. Most of the nation is covered in snow And some temperatures are reaching ten below. But the spirits are not dampened close to this holiday night As decorations are put up without a fight. A feeling of love and laughter that is in the air And the radiant smiles that the children do bear. The days are being counted for Santa to appear With his sleigh and eight reindeer. The children are seeing it as a gift giving day As their parents wipe their tears away. The children are reminded of the birth of CHRIST And that’s the reason we celebrate that night So as we decorate and run around buying gifts Let’s remember who’s on top of that list. CHRIST! 12/21/13
