Holiday Treasures

A smile in a box

A fuzzy red nose has my car;

It is my magic sleigh.

As I gather gifts from near and far,

Shopping all the way.

I have thought about each pick.

The perfect present I got.

It can be such a fantastic trick,

to find where happiness can be bought.

How special it is to give a smile.

It is great time of year.

Do we give to God for a while,

his smile from ear to ear.

Each gift is given free.

It warms every corner of your heart.

Though them may we all see,

that this is how happiness starts.

It can cost a lot,

Or a little you can spend.

It does not matter what you bought,

just the Love that you send.
