Thanksgiving is now over <br />And holidays take another turn <br />We drag out those Christmas lights <br />For we all love to see them burn <br /> <br />Don’t you enjoy traditions? <br />They sure do take us back <br />Passed down to generations <br />Like Santa’s Christmas snack <br /> <br />Brilliant lights are everywhere <br />At home and in the stores <br />They glisten and they sparkle <br />While we do our shopping chores <br /> <br />They are even strung across <br />Busy streets in town <br />Music blends in everywhere <br />Oh, I love that Christmas sound <br /> <br />It’s a time when little children <br />Try so hard not to get in fights <br />Their behavior starts to change <br />Seeing those Christmas Lights!<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/christmas-lights-5/
