December in a Small Town

December

Santa and Frosty came from the Marathon gas station in Lynchburg

wreaths,

candy canes grace

small town

Main Street.

Santa's coming,

Jingle Bells plays,

Nativity's in place.

Carolers jostle down the street 

Christmas tea.

Evergreens twinkle 

in windows,

on street corners.

Christmas lives

in small town.

Small town.

My town.

Your town.

Grow up

And grow memories

In small town.

This is part of the poem "Small Town" I wrote about growing up and raising my children in Lynchburg, Ohio.
