What is Christmas about?
Christmas is about finding the beauty in simple paper that will later be thrown away. Christmas is about heart touching songs that disappear after Christmas day. Christmas is about finding the perfect gift, when you haven't a clue. Christmas is about tiny colored lights giving off a miraculous hue. Christmas is about an ornament that is decades old and the memory it contains worth more than gold. Christmas is about a tree, so special, it stood out among a million others. Christmas is about baking cookies all made from scratch, just like our mothers. Christmas is about crafting with such pleasure, making a memory, people will forever treasure. Christmas is about snow making everything gleam, making you feel you're a part of a Christmas cake theme. Christmas is about a baby giving us hope in this life, when it seems everything else brings us nothing but such strife. Christmas isn't about a day on the calendar we strive to get to. Christmas is about all these steps and more on a journey we go through. So when you have no Christmas spirit, and you're feeling blue. know this Christmas poem was written from me to you.

Twas just before Christmas at our studio
The glory was whistling, the flames, all aglow
The gaffers all busy like Santa's elves
Making ornaments and vessels to fill all the shelves

April lift your dreary head and cease your tears of rain.
The cold winds of winter are gone, and left the birds refrain.
Part the clouds up in the sky, and let the sunshine through.
Flowers budding in the sun, the sky is lapis blue.

Brown, Amber, Gold
Warmth and value are untold
Brown eyed girl who stole your heart
Brown the wood the heats the hearth
...

Pink, It's A Girl! and all the joy she will bring
Pink, a rosebud blooming in the spring
Pink lemonade so tangy and sweet
Pink a swirl of frosting, oh what a treat
...

Teal, Turquoise or Copper Blue
A cool crisp color that you can see through
Tropical breezes, the image it brings
Carefree times, vacation flings
...

Black velvet sky on a cold winter night
Black tie affair when you marry Mr. Right
Black, so refined and first class
Black stormy sky where the clouds mass
...

SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY
Seems like yesterday we were all just in school, got married had a family and were swimming in your pool
Seems like yesterday you were quiet because you didn't know me well, but many years later oh the stories you would tell.
Seems like yesterday we worked on a derby car late into the night, the paint job was great, even if it didn't run quite right

How can I leave you when there are gardens to tend
How can I leave you when there are clothes to mend
How can I leave when the blooms dancing in the breeze
How can I leave you when we've reached the days of summer ease
