Winter hills lie cold and still, blue before the dawn.
Upon each crest, a peaceful rest that bodes of winter long.
As morning breaks o’er frozen lakes and geese glide overhead,
Chimney plumes from cozy rooms bid me stay in bed.

Holiday shopping and lights can't compete
with this cozy log cabin at ten thousand feet.
A blizzard blows sideways, beyond my control,
while I rock and I read, and just toss in more coal.

Tis the time to be jolly and wish goodwill to all men,
To meet up with long lost relations again.
Yet there's one person I would prefer to stay lost;
That scoundrel who goes by the name of Jack Frost!

As the nights draw in and the mercury falls,
Ma bastes the turkey and Pa decks the halls.
Remember one thing at this magical time;
Stay away from the malls, do your shopping online!

Oh gems of light, you crystal tears of winter
are jewels that float unset, and rightly so:
for cloud-born diamonds cast themselves to splinter
and fall without regret to earth below.

But how will my sun-drunk children know
That eyelashes gather the swift-falling snow,
Or how snowflakes rush past in the streetlamp’s glow
By the snow-softened house that I left long ago?

And so it fell, bestilling the night
A lonely blanket of pristine cold
This world now reduced to black and white
What frozen beauty mine eyes behold!

My toes peek out from under the cover
as I lay here curled up with my lover
The morning is dark and the room cold as ice
Another five minutes in bed would be nice

When going on a winter's trek,
Please don't slip and break your neck;
Dress up warm you hardy fellow,
And don't eat snow if it looks yellow!

Darkness blankets my cosy bed, quilt pulled up to my dozy head.
Eyes peep out but it's still night, curl up tight 'till morning light.
Then radio blasts! that can not be? My eyes peep out but it's too dark to see.
Alarm is wrong! it can't be 8? - Must brave the cold or i'll be late.
