The moon reflecting on the frozen lake is beautiful
Almost as beautiful as the snowflakes falling down
The cold chill of the night makes me shiver
But being surrounded with beauty makes it hard to frown
Walking down the streets, I see snowmen in the yards
Brightly lit houses decorated for Christmas light my way
Christmas music flows through the air from the cars that pass
Making tonight the end of a perfect and chilly day
Trees with no leaves still sway with the wind
Though the rustling noises are no longer there
It doesn't put me in a fouler mood, just makes me happier
Because a bad mood for me at this time is rare
When I get home, I'll make hot chocolate
And sit by the warm fire in the fireplace
I'll cozy up with my favorite book
Just to bring a bigger smile to my face
Winter is my favorite time of the year
Maybe it's the bitterness of the cold against my cheeks
Or perhaps the happiness it brings to the children
And definitely the way the wind makes my house creak
