Christmas Magic<\/strong>
By Nikola Dimitrov, 11.b class<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In winter\u2019s hush \u2013 a magic gleam,
In every heart \u2013 a festive dream.
Snowflakes dance in midnight air,
Christmas whispers, love to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lights that twinkle, bright and clear,
Chase away all doubt and fear.
Stockings hung with care, delight,
Await the joy that fills the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beneath the tree, wrapped treasures hide,
In paper dreams, love\u2019s knots are tied.
The world aglow, with kindness lit,
A gift, a smile, each moment fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through frosty windows, tales untold,
Of kindness shared and hearts consoled.
In every carol, timeless tune,
A melody that makes hearts swoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let the season\u2019s magic sway,
In acts of kindness, day by day.
For Christmas, in its simple grace,
Its magic shared, a warm embrace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kisses of the winter<\/strong>
By Jemile Mustafa, 11.b class<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we glimpse the snow falling,
the holiday lights gleaming,
our hearts will feel \u2013 once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snowflakes flying \u2013 shooting, kissing.
Happiness fruiting \u2013 soothing, blissing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas is around the corner
and we can\u2019t wait any longer.
In this season of cold warmth
our hearts are feeling \u2013 once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reindeers flying \u2013 enchanting, beaming.
Sleigh bells ringing \u2013 celebrating, welcoming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
