Analysis of Gladness.
Glad faces reflect on it all.
Old decorations deck the halls.
Paper hats spring from snapping crackers.
Ribbon is bowed around baby marakas.
Lights glimmer on oversized trees.
Snow is shaken from freezing fleece.
Christmas is here and many more still.
Happy New Year this time of good will.
