A frozen snowman’s smile greets winter sun
morning hail swirls swing bounce laughter
they emanate from joie de vivre folk
and their children’s gleeful snow-flecked faces
merry-go-round of jubilant shrieks
how they revel in this arctic annual playground
who could be so humourless, lacklustre
as not to welcome heartfelt prequel
to December’s yearly date that
delights us human beings
elation captured in a glacial garden
listen to those ice sprinkled evergreen trees
whisper kindness for eternal benefit
despite unfolding blizzards
it’s vital that this universal love for
Christmas tidings should remain
North Pole swathes foster goodwill as calendar event
adults of all ages, infants of all ages flaunt zeal
long may they continue to do so
our world would be the poorer if this should ever happen
never let a single soul dampen festive spirits
this urge to shout without restraint, to dance with defiance
whenever sleet, squalls, fog prevail
a carnival of capers at Yuletide awaits
start the cameras snapping for remembrance
