Red, Green and Gold.

As the world changes to red, green and gold.
With crystal white, sparkling stars sparkle in the fading light. 
A red yellow and brown sea of dry crisps leafs, lay upon the ground.
A choir wrapped up in hats, scarves and finger-less gloves.
Each cradling a candle and papers
With their songs of joy, peace and love echoing the crowded streets, and shops.
With bags and boxes in hand. 
Glimmering red, green and gold.
With white, sparkling, stars and snow flakes.
Carefully tied and marked with wishes.
A cold crisp night, red checks and noises,
All heading home milk and cookies.
