Gearing up to what should be magical Special winter to be a first of firsts Brand spanking new at the grand-parent thing Marshmallow snowsuits, sleighs and Santa Claus First fluffy snowflakes falling from above The Christmas tree lit up with shiny balls Starring our nine-month old baby darling Picturing with glee the sheer confusion Crazy folk coaxing him to be wreckless Bows, ribbons and coloured flashy paper A few minutes of this and he’ll get bored To make him magnificently happy He just wants a cardboard box and cookie Our Christmases will never be the same Knowing next year he’ll be more into it Now we just drool at all the photo ops AP: Honorable Mention 2022 Submitted for contest MY WINTER sponsored by VIV WIGLEY - November 17, 2017 - RANKED 5TH

You are really into Christmas through the happiness of your child ! I loved buying presents for my two kids (now grown) but always my best memory of Xmas will be the reunions and church programs and playing in the snow during Xmas breaks when I was a child. Oh, to be young again. Great poem
