It’s that time of the year

Toward the end of a long season

With ups and downs our year consists of

New beginnings are set to rise

Holidays are now approaching

It’s that time of the year

Winter time is here

Gifts will be exchanged

Decorated the Christmas tree

Presents to be expected

From the little kids who adore it

It’s that time of the year

Sometimes we only recognize

A chance to receive more than give

Giving during the holidays means a lot

Cold weather makes you want to bundle up

Family coming together

Good vibes and good times

Thinking how much time flies

We mustn’t forget the joy it brings

To have a great holiday and a new year it seems
