In the forest stood admirable pine trees,
As we walked hand in hand with ease,
Upon a blanket of snowy and frozen grounds,
Hearing voices and beautiful sounds.

Whilst the cold winds softly echoed through the night,
Bringing harmonious whispers, as we stared into the moonlight,
And the trees were beautifully dressed in white, on this Christmas eve,
With clusters of long evergreen pine leaves.

Near lied a white specked reindeer,
Whispering words we can barely hear,
When we walked closer, it fearfully ran,
Faster, as fast as it can.

When we walked away and cast a glance behind,
The adorable creature, followed appearing quite divine,
And it laughed and smiled,
Turning it's back and disappearing into the wild.
