'Twas the talk of the season,
all merry and bright,
At Ancient City Farmstead, a wondrous sight!
The annual Christmas Experience was here,
A place filled with laughter and holiday cheer.
With twinkling lights strung on each barn and tree,
Attractions and fun for the whole family.
Skating in Florida, warm cocoa in hand,
And the largest Christmas tree in all of the land!
There were crafts for the kids and carols to sing,
A workshop with Santa, and bells that would ring.
Every corner a joy, every face wore a grin,
At this festival where the fun will begin.
So come one, come all, with your holiday cheer,
To Ancient City Farmstead, the time’s drawing near.
The Christmas Experience is finally here,
This season, Christmas comes early this year!
