Surprise Sleigh Ride

I didn't see this one coming!

Oo!
Ah, the
comfort of
a fire inside
as the carolers
stroll through the
snowy countryside
singing, like angels,
of the coming Yuletide.
Chris braves the dark and
determines his stride to the
barn where his secret surprises
reside, and readies the mares for
a
jingle-belled
ride.
