Trying to feel it, starting at EIGHT

Outside today was eighty degrees
Which makes it difficult to believe
That even without snow
I somehow still know
It is startlingly Christmas Eve

Let it snow at nine

Next week is the first day of winter
Today, it was eighty degrees
"Climate change is a lie!"
But how to deny
Such glaring examples as these?

Flourishing in the evening at nine

 Did you light candles this week?
A vespertine activity
Then place them in the window
So everybody can see
