A Christmas Abecedarian

Angels sit on top of Christmas trees Bells ring for baby Jesus’ birth. Can you hear? Candy canes or cookies if you please. Decorate your home with Christmas cheer. Excitement builds and there’s exhaustion too! Festive families have fun in the snow. Generous are they with gifts and all they do, Happy - waiting for St. Nick’s Ho! Ho! Ho! Illumination shows on every street. Jack Frost comes along, but I will be Kissing under mistletoe - so sweet, Loving my December thoroughly. Magic times! Perhaps you’ll see a fairy! Nice or naughty? Santa makes his list. Opening our presents, we’ll be merry. Parties of the season can’t be missed! Quince pudding tastes so fine with cinnamon. Rum cake for me! Pa rum pum pum pum! Stockings filled by Santa - oh, what fun. Turkey, stuffing, and potatoes. YUM! Uplifting messages and songs we’ll play. Visits to our relatives we’ll make - Wishes too, for a white Christmas day; Xmas time, be good for goodness sake! Yuletide logs are burning. Turn in for the night. Zapped of energy, get Zzzzz's! May all your dreams be bright. Written in January of 2016 For the Contest of Shadow Hamilton

I remember my christmas poems for kids and teenagers series which you followed from poem 1 to 10. Surprisingly, that was 2 years ago... Time really flies so fast these days.... Great lines and its been a long while.
