"You Mean the World To Me"
by Ramona Merrill
You are the sparkle in the tree lights
the shimmer in the snow
the jingle bells
the yummy smells
you make the season glow!
You are the fig in the figgy pudding
the spice in pumpkin pie
the sugar sweet
in every treat
the twinkle in my eye!
You are the reindeer on the rooftop
the candy in the cane
you are Santa's pack
the klickity-klack
of wheels on a toy train!
You are like a favorite blanket
a cuddly teddy bear
the holly jolly
favorite dolly
sitting in a chair.
You are the sprinkles on the cookies
the'mmm' in butter creams
the stocking stuffed
the pillow fluffed
the magic in my dreams.
Your smile is like a moonbeam
shining on a snowy night
you are full of wiggles
and silly giggles
you are like a candle bright!
You are cuter than a little house
made out of gingerbread
trimmed with gumdrops
and lollipops
all colored green and red.
You are sweeter than any present
ever placed beneath a tree
you may be small
but you beat them all
you mean the world to me!
As we were standing in line to see Santa, the kids were getting really excited! Erik and I enjoyed seeing their excitement and experiencing Christmas from a child's eyes all over again. Watching their smiles and joy, Erik leaned over to me and said, "Doing this with our kids is even better than doing it when I was a kid. Don't laugh at me if I cry." :) It was a very special night for all of us.
