Last week is when it began
It is that time again
When the clocks go back
And we miss an hour of the light
We hardly had a summer of those long warm nights
And now winter is very near
It has come around so soon this year
The darkness has fallen thick and fast
We leave home with it wrapped around us
And come back from work after dusk
Night time for more than 12 hours a day
It makes us want to go on holiday
But we can’t and have to wait
Till we get our Christmas break
This time of year makes many depressed
There is a certain condition that people can get
When they lack that vitamin D
Which gives their bones and skin so much energy
The dark comes first, then the cold
And finally the first snowfall
This is when I know winter has really arrived
Some love this time of year
For me it only brings a tinge of fear
Always cold, never warm
Wrapped up in my coat it seems all year long
Never wanting to part from my jacket
Despite the persistent cries
From everyone sitting next to me inside
The highlight of this season
Has to be without hestitation
One of the most celebrated festivals of them all
Friends and family you hold so dear
Come together and spread the cheer
On this day of celebration
Everyone is full of love and admiration
