Watching the snowflakes tumbling down
Gracefully, silently to the ground
Sparkling crystals come into view
Making the World look fresh and new



The mailbox wearing a fluffy snow hat
Too cold for neighbors to stop and chat
Icicles forming in the tall pine trees
Before too long, the creek will freeze



Kids playing outside with snowsuits on
Ignoring the cold, enjoying the fun
Looking forward to hot chocolate
Before a fire that's blazing hot



Jack Frost peeking through a window pane
To tell us it's wintertime again
The nighttime sky so clear and bright
Everything covered with a blanket of white



Soon, the Christmas season comes
A wonderland, the yard becomes
Twinkling lights glowing everywhere
Wrapping gifts for all to share



Snowy nights peaceful and serene
Trees now white that once were green
Was the Christ child born on such a night?
Oh, it must have been a beautiful sight



A star shining brightly that holy night
Guiding the wise men to that blessed site
Angels rejoicing with wings unfurled
A Son sent by God to save the World



God's beauty surrounding as I fall asleep
The children too tired to make a peep
Praising God for His great sacrifice
For all our sins, Jesus paid the price
