“Are You Listening?”
Frost bites as they wait
Through the darkness bells chime forth,
Rings of Santa’s sleigh.

“Snow Is Glistening”
Icicle bells ring
While the fairy skates on ice,
Her snowflake dress gleams.

Thanks! Snow makes me think of fairies. Have you seen the very old Disney Christmas Sing Along? There’s a song on there that shows snow fairies spreading ice and skating. The memory stuck with me. 🙂

No, but the Disney Fantasia has sort of the same thing and I’ve always loved it. 🙂
