Christmas time brings all kinds of cheer, the hustle and bustle of people so near,
It brings with it sparkle and glitter so clear,
for just around the corner santa claus will soon visit here.
Then suddenly it is over and the trees must come down,
santa returns to his place out of town,
there is a quiet that settles barely hearing a sound.
This is when I feel my smile turn to a frown.
The coldness of winter does not seem the same when the magic of christmas is now in a frame.
Sadness can creep in
when the company has gone,
the days that seemed short are now feeling long,
So this is the time to be good to yourself,
cuddle up, drink hot cocoa and read a good book,
The long winter days will be with us for a bit,
think happy thoughts and when the depression sets in don't ever quit.
The warmth of the sun will return very soon,
and make life seem brighter like the flowers that bloom.
