Poem
The Eve before Christmas day, No snow but clear skies And visible stars A full moon and the Milky way, Sprinkling its magic, while My gran and mom jam packed Cookies into jars. A dip in the swimming pool, For it’s sizzling hot that night, We want to go to bed cool, Young children eventually Tucked in tight, with just a sheet, No snow, ice or sleet, In South Africa, our home, Where we sleep. In their dreams presents, Santa and fun Tomorrow’s weather prediction, Thirty-nine degrees in the sun. Dusted the floor with baby powder, Who wears the same size shoe As Santa, We all look at Grandpa! Under the tree are two funky Pairs of flippers for the twins, Who by now should have grown fins. Time for bed, presents all Under the tree Fairy lights on, In the kitchen a timer for For the turkey put on for three To be turned off at eight, When we go to church Come back for freshly baked Scones and pancakes, Made in the oven outside, My Grandma’s pride. Run for swimming costumes, Jump in the pool Oh it was so hot in church, Now we feel cool. Air conditioning in most rooms When indoors, Sunblock Cream and hats When outdoors, We love Christmas in Africa And in the scorching sun, Guess each country, Enjoys and has its Own kind of fun, Whether in the snow or the heat, Christmas day is a day No one can beat, Christmas carols are sung Mistletoe hung Hubby grabs me And kisses me With a glint in his eyes, Have a surprise for you Tonight after tea, And your special mince pies. Bright wrappings on Presents under the tree And so important is the gathering Of the entire family.
