Holiday Young

An ode to the holidays

There truly is nothing quite like holidays for the young.

Oh how children love when the holidays come.

Holidays really were quite the wonder for me.

Thanksgiving on the dinner table and presents under the tree.

You know the youngins love it when the holiday is here.

Frolicking and laughing because they’re filled with holiday cheer.

Forever spinning like the globe of snow it never stops.

We gotta keep em’ happy so the parents will forever shop.

During your youth what site was most pleasant?

To see that Christmas tree standing over your presents.

A child like imagination is the greatest expression of holiday truth.

Never will there be a better spirit than holiday youth.
