The lights twinkle on
Our fireplace
The sad old photos are gone
And streamers are on the staircase
Pine trees are transformed
Into works of art
And appear to be reborn
As they touch our heart
Adorned with baubles and glitter
And sometimes angels
So, put a picture on Twitter
And impress strangers
Festive lights in our windows
Perhaps even reindeers and a Santa
In our gardens casting magical shadows
But you rarely see a panda
So, welcome the Christmas period
Take a break, change your ways
Stop being serious
And enjoy the festive days.
