Something In The Air
Make memories while you can
My childhood holiday seasons
always involved the beaches.
I couldn't imagine a December without sun
until I came to the United States of Trump.
Bundled up, a hot chocolate I craved
now I know why it's the land of the brave.
I fight through the cold
in layers of clothes
and enjoy the atmosphere
with Kevin McCallister.
Home Alone's a tradition,
watched yearly with passion
lights up at Christmas
in the air, is romance.
Music blasting all around
some sober 0r strung out
hand in hand, friends, lovers too
selfie sticks and photo booths
help us make memories
to talk about.

Such a beautifully nostalgic poem! I love how you capture the contrast between warm beach holidays and chilly U.S. winters. Your words bring out the coziness of holiday traditions and the joy of making memories. Truly heartwarming!
