We all enjoy Christmas, do we not? It’s the one time of the year where everyone seems so cheerful and happy. It’s my favorite holiday.

Why don’t we  Sneak out to the beach at night?  All we’ll be  Are memories this time of year  We can swim  In the blue moonlight  On our whim  Let’s regret our lost sleep  In the morning,  Next year.  A rock  At the window, alone in bed  A knock, undone the lock  Now below, eyes turned...
