Merry Christmas!

Christmas traditional colors include pine green, heart red and snow white-
colors that cast a radiant glow throughout the endless course of night
Hanukkah and winter are represented by the everlasting shades of white and blue,
gold, silver or any metallic color constitute other classic Christmas hues
The typical images comprise Baby Jesus, Bethlehem's star, and most importantly, Santa Claus
who is intimidating enough to make little children rethink all their flaws
So, far from their outlook of being the time to be jolly,
youngsters strive to redeem their every little mischief and folly
While the main winter icons are icicles, polar bears and snow flakes,
the main winter delicacies include roast turkey, cranberry sauce, and plum cake
The most prominent existing rituals surrounding the winter solstice,
is that constructed from evergreen boughs- the unavoidable tree of Christmas
The adaptation of Pagan worship of the following frosty tree,
is draped with ornaments and iridescent lights the entire world can jovially see
The popularity of holiday plants has been innate, but has hurriedly continued to grow,
as does the presence of ivy, holly, Christmas cactus and mistletoe
Wreaths are put together with ribbons and many an artificial conifer branch,
alongside garlands, with pine cones, sprays of berries, and broadleaf foliage
People embellish the town square and their respective houses throughout the wintry day,
after which the dark is lit up by glowing snowmen, lights and wooden sleighs
Whilst Christmas banners sway from every electric light implanted on the street,
stockings dangling above the fireplace are stuffed with unimaginable treats
Little children, in their haste to earn some money, take up the responsibility to sell
little Christmas gifts, such as metal angels, candy canes, candles and bells
Enchanting Christmas carols, by citizens of all ages, are sung,
beneath the resplendent ceilings of the church, from where flowing decorations are hung
In terms of festivals, Christmas is like an eagerly-awaited treasure-
one where people take a deep breath, and celebrate it with pleasure
For children, in particular, it's the most magical segment of the year,
and to Christians, and people of other religions, it is a time that is cherished and dear
Therefore, I'll finally conclude:
Christmas isn't only about the gifts, lights and food
It's about spending some time with our family, and with life-time friends,
while enmity between others is put to an abrupt end
So, I'll say to every reader who reads this-
Have a heartfelt, unforgettable Christmas!
