criss-cross crust
made with love
apple pie

Christmas dishes
women in the kitchen
singing carols

hand in hand
bags in the other
Christmas shopping

sugared pecans
the smell of heaven
Christmas shopping

excited children
lining the street
here comes Santa Claus

white lights
shining bright
he is coming tonight

in the back seat
counting the houses
Christmas lights

the last ornament
the first gift
Christmas morning

BOTTOM half champion

bundled up
lying on the frozen ground
snow angels

sleeping bag—
suddenly the stairway
is a sledding hill

below zero
snow covered pines
snowman with carrot nose

winter night
dreaming about snow
brrrr it's cold

new fallen snow
piling on snow
I close my curtains

a cold winter day
frosted windows
grandma's afghan blanket

breath on the window
the snow plow rolls by
school's cancelled

snow drifts
   across the road
going nowhere
