November fades with its golden cheer,
December arrives, crisp and clear.
The trees stand bare, the frost takes hold,
Winter unfolds, both fierce and bold.
The stars burn bright in the icy air,
A season of joy begins to prepare.
Candles are lit, their flames alight,
Warming the soul through the chilly night.
Footsteps crunch on the powdered ground,
In every home, laughter resounds.
The year's end whispers, a time to reflect,
Memories cherished, dreams to protect.
The winds may howl, but hearts are warm,
Sheltered by love through winter's storm.
December wraps us in a snowy embrace,
A peaceful glow on each weary face.
As the world turns white, the spirit soars,
Opening wide to New Year's doors.
November is gone, but the path is clear,
Welcome the magic of December, my dear.
The image used is mine.
