Christmas

It's become an emotion

An emotion I feel

Only this time of year

It's the feeling

Of warm fuzzy socks

Of hot chocolate

Of big floppy sweaters

Of warm popcorn

And cold sparkling cider

It's the feeling

Of family gathered cozily

Of the sound of crunching leaves

Or crunching snow

Depending on where you live

It's the feeling

Of a cold red nose

And ears

And fingers and cheeks

And the loving hands

That warm them

It's the feeling of hearing songs

Everyone knows

And singing along

Whether it's

Bing Crosby or Frank Sinatra

Or Michael Buble or Pentatonix

They're the same old songs

With the same homey cheery feeling

The feeling of Christmas

It's the feeling

Of love

Of home

Of family

Of friends

Of traditions

Of warmth

It's the feeling

Of Christmas

"All this holiday cheer—heaven knows where it goes, but it returns every year." ~"Peppermint Winter", Owl City
