With three candles lit,
the mind calms bit by bit.
A year comes to an end,
the rest is rather planned.

A final cookie baking done,
snow, already gone.
A visit in a christmas village,
just avoid the mass pilgrimage.

To feel the joy of this special time,
lights of candles, such a shine.
Candied nuts and liquored tea,
to enhance social integrity.

It should be a time of peace,
where everyone is at ease.
Looking forward to holidays,
religion does not matter these days.

It is a festival of love and sharing,
to celebrate being together and caring.
Family, friends and tradition,
with the rightful mission.

To organize a joyful event,
for being together meant.
As being outside is crazy cold,
in the year dark and old.

So be nice, enjoy it for you,
still some work to do,
one week left before celebration,
Christmas is for me a love declaration.
