For Mercedes Ellis, the best part about the winter season is the warm things she finds at home. “The blankets!” Mercedes exclaimed when asked about her favorite thing about winter, “And the hoodies. You can’t forget about your snuggly hoodies!”

Benson and Bark’s Wonderful Winter Day
Here is a wonderful winter day
As the kids with hot cocoa come array
With many carols and decorations placed outside
With snowmen 8 feet tall and 80 inches wide
There are so many families with gifts under their tree
Though not for this man and his dog you see
Benson and Bark have been friends for years
Had much fun together and shared so many tears
Benson got Bark when he was 8 years old
Their love never died nor turned cold
Their tradition for winter was simple and sweet
They had no gifts but enjoyed each others company
They walked side by side in the winters rain
Beautiful snowflakes so delicate and plain
Benson was poor and had nothing in store
He wished he could buy Bark that bone with a bacon-filled core
One day when walking
Benson got beat
He stood there in pain and In his own defeat
All Bark could do was sit there and bark
Bark wasn't very big from the start
Benson was hurt and many people walked by
Bark was sad and Benson wanting to cry
Benson got up and dealt with the pain
Continuing the walk even if it wasn't the same
Benson and Bark kept walking you see
Till they spotted two gifts under a tree
They got closer and closer
Looking the gifts over
There names were on there and they screamed in glee
Bark and Benson got gifts finally
They opened there gifts
And they howled in joy
Benson got money and Bark a new toy
Their neighbors of the town
Got together and talked
They all raised some money at a charity walk
The money that they earned
They gave to Benson and Bark
Benson was thankful for their loving heart
With the bond and love
Benson and Bark shared
That winter day
They learned their neighbors cared….
