Brasstown Resort decked
with evergreen boughs,
red ribbons wrap the stairs,
mistletoe and wreaths hung.
Lights glow on the tree
trimmed with old-fashioned ornaments,
the logs brightly burning
in the rock fireplace.
The resort is filled with cheer,
merry Christmas music,
drinking apple cider,
the snowcapped pine branches,
and thousands of crystals glitter
on the Brasstown Bald;
cardinals chatter at the feeders,
paper chains hug the tree.
