Tree
With gifts
For the kids
And Mom and Dad
Candles all aglow
Yule log in the fireplace
Festive lights brightly shining
Milk and cookies on the mantle
Decking the halls and jingling the bells
Tree with gifts for the kids and Mom and Dad

Charming and cozy vibes, Nancy. 🎄 A festive song too. I made a cake last night and opted for Led Zeppelin. Not very Christmasy but I enjoyed it. 🎶

Nice addition of the Yule … we were all “pagans”at one time of history.
