In a winter scene so bright and merry,
Emily rides, swift as a snowbound ferry.
Barrel racing ‘neath festive string lights,
A reindeer’s grace and a jockey’s delights.
Santa cheers with his belly’s own quake,
"Faster, faster!" his jolly voice shakes.
She circles the barrels with sugarplum flair,
Like twirling candy in frosty air.
Her hat tips festive, red as a bow,
With a wink and a smile, she's the star of the show.
The crowd roars with laughter, her spirits they lift,
On this Christmas night, she’s the swiftiest gift.
As stockings hang by the fireside’s glow,
Emily’s joy is the best gift we know.
In the dance of the barrels, the crowd’s happy chime,
A sweet, funny tale of Christmas time.
