Twas the night before Christmas at three Orlando hotels
Where merriment ensued thanks to team Rosen elves.
While guests snuggled cozy in linens top-of-the-line
Dreaming of a holiday sure to be most sublime.

With visions of sun tans and palm tree-lined pools.
Award-winning dining and Alligator Drool.

There could be no place better for “Where Christmas Happens!”

At Rosen Shingle Creek…
Gingerbread creations to benefit charity
Include H. Potter’s home – a holiday rarity!
Musical shows with holiday plates
And live entertainment featuring ‘50s greats.
The rose garden’s Winter Wonderland was aglow
With festive lights that embossed the night sky high to low.
A feast for the senses with fresh fallen snow,
Karaoke and cocktails, even Santa did show.

At Rosen Centre…
A twirl on the ice is quite natural and cool
When an ice skating show is staged right by the pool.
Wear your bikini, a Speedo or your flowing afghan.
Grab a cocktail from Harry’s and settle right in
For a spectacular professionally choreographed show.
Rosen Centre’s Holidays on Ice to delight young and old.
Looking for more? Make sure this is your stop
To join Santa with sprinkles to decorate cake pops!

Last, but not least, Rosen Plaza plays gracious host
To an array of events worthy of multiple toasts.
A Winterfest Beer Garden features an array of craft beers
Including root beer for the entire family to cheer.
No stranger to helping, the hotel rocks to its own tune,
Raising funds to beat cancer, hopefully soon.
Showcasing artfully decorated chairs for the bidding.
Chairity-for-a-Claus, all about holiday giving.

Finally, for a family gathering, for those who were pining
Rosen’s hotels were staged for the day’s decadent dining.
Much to guests’ wondering eyes did excite
Three buffets so bountiful their eyes hurt with delight!

Led by head chefs Mike, Michael and Jorge,
The scrumptupulous feasts were both tasty and “gorge”
With artful displays of salads, sushi and sweets,
The best cheeses, homemade soups, freshly carved meats.
Chocolate fountains that flowed, pastries handily created.
Each family member was satisfactorily sated.

The number one elf Harris Rosen joined the feasts with his guests
Sharing a story or two, some of his best.
As he visited diners moving table to table
He and his associates formed a family most able.

Whether gathering for holidays, meetings or more,
The elves at Rosen present gifts galore.
Free wifi, no resort fees, unparalleled service,
Technological advancements that keep guests the “securest.”

But most important of all, the greatest gift he could give
Was simple, but heartfelt, being the giver he is.
With a quick smile and a bright blue-eyed twinkle,
Harris Rosen extended his year-round Kris Kringle.

“You’re always a friend and family member to us,
Whether your stay is one day or for more than a month.
The best we can offer, our utmost we give
Is our dedication to your happiness. Pure and simple we live.”

With that and a quick guest selfie or two,
With a wave of the hand, through the lobby he flew.
Into the night breeze, palms swaying above,
Toward his Mazda he hastened, toward the Florida sun.
As he sped away, he cheered loud as he could
“A Merry Christmas to all and to all – Be Good
