Somewhere once upon a Dream,
Beside a glistening chocolate stream,
Just like a fairy tale storybook scene,
Lies a castle made of most-magical things,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk along the clouds – see if you can find,
An ornate gate of red candy caned lines,
And if your heart is kind and true,
They may just open up for you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where dandelion wishes fall,
And get absorbed into the walls,
Which grows new turrets, and towers, and trees,
And extends Santa\u2019s list by another couple of feet,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finest gingerbread architecture,
Grand and golden in its splendour,
Its ceilings hold gum drop chandeliers,
Which beam out rainbows that last hundreds of years,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No surface is left bare,
(There\u2019s literally teddies everywhere!),
There is no darkness in our sight,
Even in the shadows-there is light,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presents are stacked up to higher skies,
So tall you won\u2019t believe your eyes,
Old portraits adorned with tinsel,
Festive ornaments cover the windowsill,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memories of Christmas past,
Come here so that they can dance,
Every cracker joke gets a laugh,
A place where snowmen can ever last,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A vintage sleigh awaits take-off,
You can hear the Elves finishing in the workshop,
There is change within the air,
Stroke all of the friendly Reindeer,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe when you awake on Christmas morn,
Last night’s trip will be lost in a yawn,
But don\u2019t forget you hold the key,
To the Christmas Castle you have to believe to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
