A Child's Christmas

For a contest.

The sleighbells ring

Down the street.

The fire crackles

In the family room.

The children wake,

cheerful, grinning.

They rush to the windows,

Push aside the curtains.

See the drifts of snow piled on the ground.

Smiles widen,

Feet bounce.

Bacon sizzles,

Mother calls,

“Breakfast - then presents!”

The children run

Down the stairs.

It’s Christmas,

Their favorite time of year.
