Jingling, ringling, jolly to the ears —
Christmas time at a house of cheers
clinging, bubbly toasts to the air
swirl heartful joy to the season’s flair.
Assortments filled with crackers and cheeses,
hummus and salsa, chips and pitas,
olives to cranberries, yams to sweetness —
oh, what delight from such bounteous platters.
Chimes of the hour with music to sound,
singers, instrumentalists, all gather ’round
repertoires with charm and warmth to hear
belts and bells enhance the atmosphere.
Richness of chocolates for all to indulge
mousses and pies, cookies, hot cocoa,
voices of all ages mingle together —
a season of joy for all to share.
