December is ...

Snowman ~ Christmas trees
Winter wonderland ~ A pair of skis
Festive atmosphere ~ Mistletoe
And then children play in the snow
~*~
Christmas carols ~ Nice cards
Skating ~ Kind regards
Church choir ~ Shopping queue
And then for the poor a dream comes true
~*~
Giving of presents ~ Nativity play
Advent wreath ~ Holiday
Turkey ~ One’s Christmas speech
And then taking flight to a palm beach
~*~
Christmas fair ~ Honey cake
Chain of lights ~ Snowflake
Loneliness ~ Solidarity
And then a generous donation to charity
~*~
Christmas poem ~ Reindeer
Santa Claus ~ Another end of the year
Advent calendar ~ Church bell
And then at the fireplace stories to tell
~*~
Wrapping paper ~ Candle light
Ice-crystals ~ Silent Night
Christmas stockings ~ A war to cope
And then peace is giving hope
~*~
