Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

     

Christmas is a time
for spreading around cheer.
And caroling the rhyme
and stories of reindeer.

Christmas is a place
which we hold in our hearts.
Always feeling the race
of shiny shopping carts.

Christmas is a day
where we can all be happy.
To laugh and sing and play
and never once be snappy.

But Christmas is a spirit
that lives inside my head.
There is no reason to fear it
just sleep well in your bed.
