Christmas poetry writing prompt entry

Hang tinsel on the evergreen
and place a Yule log on the fire
to make a cozy Christmas scene
hang tinsel on the evergreen
then watch the silver garlands gleam
as toasty flames grow ever higher
hang tinsel on the evergreen
and place a Yule log on the fire.

Your challenge is to write a poem based around Christmas. You can express your feelings or just be creative with words. I wish you well, happy writing.

Author Notes
The triolet is a centuries old French form. The poem is only 8 lines long and written in iambic tetrameter with a rhyme scheme of ABaAabAB. The capital letters show the lines that repeat - the first line is also the fourth and seventh lines and the second line is also the final line.
I realize the fire/higher lines have 9 syllables each, so there is no need to point that out. It is intentional. :-)
