In Florida's warmth, where the palm trees sway, Three cousins gathered to celebrate the day. Lauren and Alex, the scholarly pair, Home from Yale, with stories to share. Jacob, at eleven, though younger in years, Brought laughter and magic, and festive cheers. From Virginia he traveled, with wide-eyed wonder, To be with his kin as the clouds split asunder. Christmas in sunlit, sandy embrace, United by love, no matter the place. The twins, with their tales of college and lore, And Jacob's excitement, forever they'd store. Amidst twinkle lights and the Atlantic's song, Their bond was steadfast, unwavering, and strong. In the heart of December, beneath the scarlet sky, Their Christmas together, a joyous reply.
