Are we too grownup to feel
a thrill
As we light the Christmas
tree?
Are we immune to cookies,
Christmas cards and Christmas
glee?
Are we too adult to "Ooh" and
"Aah"
At the Christmas candle's
glow?
Are we blasé about
our gifts;
Do we shun the mistletoe?
Are we too mature for carols,
For merry or for jolly?
Do the decorations leave us
cold,
The ornaments and holly?
Fat chance! We'll never grow
too old
To love the Christmas magic.
A year without a Christmas
Would be boring, even tragic.
So bring it on! The candy canes,
The feasting and good cheer;
O Christmas, lovely Christmas,
You're the highlight of the
year!
Joanna Fuchs
