I still love to put up a
Christmas tree.
Some years I have and some
I haven’t–this year I will.
It’s a comfort to see the tree
lights twinkling late into the night.

/ December 3, 2011“It’s just an old fashioned tree that means Merry Christmas to me.” A line from an old Christmas song you never hear. Your poem is right. Those lights on it are a comfort in the bleakness of the winter night. Have a blessed Christmas.
