An Ode to Christmas by Bronti Phillips

When you see lovely lights Of greens, reds, and whites You know it is Christmas Time When snow falls down from the skies Soft and thick it lies You know it is Christmas Time When you hear Christmas jingles And your skin begins to tingle You know it is Christmas Time An Ode for the scent of pine An Ode to the dainty decorations that are so divine An Ode to Christmas Time When you get rosy cheeks And children dash with squeals and shrieks You know it is Christmas Time  Significance: Help people to celebrate an idea or famous person through writing
