Merry Christmas from the Rose’s

by Jeff Rose on December 24, 2009

in General Stuff

Hope the Holiday Season is a good one! Merry Christmas and God bless.

Christmas in the air!

It’s Christmas in the air!
Snowflakes in December
Children site with Santa’s toys
Their gloves wiping crystalline ice,
Off shiny plastic
Our breath thick like fog
Mingles in oneness
As we stand back to
Look upon the completion
Of our Christmas trees
Giggling from heady wine
And feelings shared
It’s Christmas in the air!
