Week 15 Freestyle: Christmas is Coming

With my favorite holiday of the year on the way, I can't help but notice things don't look like Christmas.
 We've barely had 3 inches of snow this year, and it has done nothing but poor down rain.  So here's a little something I looked at last night to help me get in the Christmas spirit.  I just want to say this is my favorite poem of all time.  Here it is:

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

BY ROBERT FROST
Whose woods these are I think I know.   
His house is in the village though;   
He will not see me stopping here   
To watch his woods fill up with snow.   

My little horse must think it queer   
To stop without a farmhouse near   
Between the woods and frozen lake   
The darkest evening of the year.   

He gives his harness bells a shake   
To ask if there is some mistake.   
The only other sound’s the sweep   
Of easy wind and downy flake.   

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.   
But I have promises to keep,   
And miles to go before I sleep,   
And miles to go before I sleep.
