The 2019 Candlelight Stroll
'Twas the Candlelight Stroll
And the candles were lit,
The store windows glistened,
It would be just a bit.
The people were coming
To see all the lights,
To shop in the stores,
To see all the sights.
But what to their wondering eyes
Should appear?
But beautiful Dolls
Dressed in holiday gear!
They stood in the windows
And rarely they moved,
But then when they did
The crowds cooed and cooed!
There were Rockettes and Elves,
Christmas Gifts and Trees
Soldiers and Snowmen,
And Shoppers, oh please!
Santa and Clara
With a nutcracker too,
And wouldn't you know there
Was Grinch and Cindy Lou Who!
They stood in the windows
Or sat on the chairs,
Moving only so slightly
Amid all the stares.
With a wink or a nod,
Or a mischievous grin,
They held their positions
While people walked in.
The carolers strolled up and down
The Main Street,
While friends would gather
To get something to eat.
The laughter, the smiles,
The young and the old,
The photos, the joy
No one felt any cold!
The shops were abuzz
With goodies delight,
What a beautiful, wonderful,
Magical night!
The shoppers grew weary,
The children grew tired,
The candles burned down,
And were almost expired.
The stores were now closing,
Thoughts of pillows and beds,
While dreams of the Holly Dolls
Danced in their heads.
Merry Christmas to all
And a Happy New Year,
The Holly Dolls will return,
To Hudson next year!
