Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no!
it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken…

It’s boys grown tall and snowball fights to begin.

It’s the first taste of snow and her sweet impish grin.

It’s snow angels to make and neighbors to greet.

It’s warmth by the fire and popcorn to eat.


It’s hot chocolatey goodness and old movies to view.


It’s stirring the batter and making some stew.


It’s gazillions of bows and gifts under the tree.


It’s cute decorations and wondering, “What’s in it for me?”

…melts my heart.


(Bear’s journal entries he does at night before bed.)
…what he’ll be asking for on his Christmas list.
