The Magic of Christmas! – Delhi Poetry Slam

The Magic of Christmas!

By Shanaya Mehta

Sparkling eyes, laughter and cheer
Christmas carols and a fat reindeer.
Laughter echoing, hands held tight
Clinking glasses in the bright candlelight.

Whirling snowflakes, twinkling stars
Whispers of wonder and the strum of guitars
Wishes exchanged, hugs so tight.
Stories shared in pale moonlight.

Myths and tales whispered at night.
Stories go on till the first ray of light
Fables about things from Jesus to the Grinch.
All so dreamy, doesn’t require a pinch.

Creeping down the steps, one at a time 
Looking front, left, right, yearning for a chyme
With sleepy eyes and hearts full of glee
Awaiting what lies under the tree

Cookie crumbs and milk,all gone.
All this happens at the break of dawn
Christmas presents under the tree.
Delighted faces, full of glee

As the day unfolds with love all around
In each heart the magic of Christmas is found.
With hope and togetherness guiding the way 
We embrace the spirit, come what may.
