Pine trees whisper in the breeze
Fireflies glow when day is done
Crickets hum their evening song
And call out Merry Christmas everyone
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Santa rides a horse down here
Kids come running when they hear his call
Neighbors wave from passing trucks
Their smiles saying God bless you all
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Hushed creeks shimmer under stars
Owls keep watch from branches high
A chorus rises from the woods
Like nature's Christmas lullaby
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
The smell of brisket fills the air
the heat turned down real low
Cooking it up with grateful hearts
In that East Texas way we know
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
The Lone Star sky glows soft tonight
Our lights shine bright for one and all
We send our love from Texas to your home
Wishing Merry Christmas to y’all.

This a beautiful poem that highlights how the season can look different based on the region of the country—or the world—that we’re in. Nicely done, and I love the image that goes with it.
