Sarah - There's a Feeling in the Air...


There’s that feeling in the air
When Christmas time appears
 Christmas trees tied to the top of cars,
Presents under the tree,
Christmas songs on 101.9,
The distinct smell of your Christmas tree from every room of the house,
The Christmas lights that fill the city,
Al Copeland’s decorations,
And your Christmas tree needles stuck to your feet

Sarah, age 16
