These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

ChristmasTime is here, Again

Christmas time is here, again,
starting with the meat
of turkey, pork, and other wins.
Thankfully we greet.

Christmas with all its lights,
decorated best
with hearts of love throughout the nights
in homes so fully blest.

Christmas music fills the air
as trees fill every home.
Take a moment. Stop and stare
at peace, that gently comes.

NaNoWriMo books soon done.
Gifts fill Santa's sled.
Reindeer pulling all as one
suit of brightest red.

Christmas time is here, my friend.
Childlike heart come forth.
Playful days some pains can mend.
Find the lasting worth.
