Matthew draws his readers into a whirling ribbon of the familiar reds and greens of Christmas, as well as other festive hues, including white, gold, blue, and brown.
Christmas is RED.
It's a bright shiny sled.
It's candy canes,
and toy store lanes.
It's sprinkles on sweet bread.
Christmas is BROWN
Its pinecones scattered round…
Its a cradle soft with hay
And a donkeys gentle bray.
Its God within
a babys skin
on that very first Christmas Day.
All the colors come together when readers are reminded that Christmas is YOUyoure a part of the story, the joy and the glory! Matthew shows us again and again that the holidays are nothing without being with the people we love, celebrating treasured traditions, and making new memoriesall in vivid color.
