A Christmas I Won'T Forget

I will never forget our Christmas tradition At my parents home when I was young. First, we got out of bed before mom and dad In our stocking we'd look, to see what we had. We would start getting impatient Wanted to get our parents out of bed Finally, we gathered in the living room Names on gifts were then read So anxious to see, we opened them up My brother Dave bought a huge candy bar For the four of us kids, there we stood Knew it was the best by far. Dad then would read from the Bible About Jesus in the manger that night People gathered together with gifts It was a beautiful sight He then bowed his head to pray Before Christmas carols were sung I look over to see my brother or sister Smile then stick out their tongue.

I give it a seven, Melanie. The excitement in children's hearts on Christmas morning comes through strong in your poem. I grew up in extreme poverty. We hung a stocking, and received a piece or two of fruit, nuts, and hard candy. Our excitement matched yours, because those were luxury items at that time in our lives. Thanks for sharing.
