White Christmas

White Christmas -  Ryndi Hanneman (Mountain Ridge High School, 12th Grade)

The green ground turned white as a paper  

Tank tops turned into hoodies, shorts turned into pants 

The heat of the sun disappeared and now the clouds covering the sky turned to cold winds 

Swimming pools closed while ski resorts opened 

People started wearing boots instead of sandals

Lakes that were filled with boats were now covered in ice

Being outside without gloves started making hands cold as ice 

People started getting hot chocolate instead of ice cream 

Lights hung across houses everywhere 

People bundled up in warm clothes shopping for gifts for loved ones 

Looking through windows green dressed up trees could be seen 

The smell of fresh pine in everyhome 

Hearing laughter in homes as people celebrated with loved ones 

You could tell a very white christmas was near
