Christmas in Houston

Christmas in the state of Texas,
Christmas in the family nexus,
Gathered, partly overseas
Reached by flying through the breeze.

After work has been suspended,
After miles have been transcended,
Come the families to the feast,
From the North and from the East.

Closer are the friendships braided,
Rich the compliments now traded,
Dear the memories that have passed
Through the sentiments that last
.

Talk and toasting passes round,
New acquaintances are found
In midwinter hunkered here
Full of joy and Christmas cheer.
