There’s a holiday brew

That warms the soul

It’s a secret elixir

From days of olde

~

A sprinkle of cinnamon

A sliver of vanilla bean

When stirred with a candy cane

Induces sweet dreams

~

Of cookies that never crumble

Inside gingerbread houses

Warmed by a fireplace

Whose smoke smells of molasses

~

With candles that flicker

But never go out

Their light a soothing whisper

In a world that loves to shout

~

About all the snow globes

With secrets held inside

Will you shake them to see

Or let secrets hide?

~

With each sip of this brew

Troubles begin to melt away

So, the joy of the holidays

All year with you can stay
