• What is more beautiful
    than a soft christmas snow?
    Falling ever gracefully
    in a slow steady spiral

    How can you hate
    that frozen expanse?
    When it sparkles in the sun
    and moonlight makes it dance

    How can you want
    to hole up inside?
    Have you forgotten
    your inner child?

    So don't hate the snow
    when the cold wind blows
    turn your face to meet it
    and stick out your tongue

    Perhaps you will catch a fallen flake
    Perhaps you will taste something wonderful
    and you will be able to tell everyone you know
    I tasted Christmas!
