The Colors of Christmas

Bedeck with green

And the berries of December red

Over our heads white mistletoe

To reinforce the seasonal message of love

But add the brown of gravy

Over the cream of mashed potatoes please

And yes

Honey of the roasted onions

The yellow of the golden butter over the peas

Now let\'s hold hands around the festive table

Share the pink, brown, caramel, honey, black

Of our entwined flesh

Warm each other with a smile

And feel our little gathering most blessed
