d e a r Santa, I wish I could have a real Christmas this year. ; My parents are always trying, but always having to m o v e. We move a n y w h e r e they can find a steady job to feed the family. There is never enough money to spare, so they don’t dare spend on si lly things like a Christmas tree, toys, and candy. I hope this letter finds you. I’ve been very good. Santa, I want a home with my o w n room and bed, a C h r i s t m a s t r e e, and toys. 12/17/2018

This reminds me of my younger years with my mother taking care of all 4 of us by herself we had slim pickings for Christmas but she always found a way to get us a few things, Love this one Eve.

Your shape poem is so touching Eve, many of us have so much yet there are those who struggle so much just to keep a roof over their heads and Christmas is something they see happening for other people:-( hugs jan xx

Oh, my goodness, what a beautiful write, and how RIGHT you were in the typing of this shape poem. Wow! This had to have taken a long, long time. I am in awe here. Not easy to do for those of us who have tried. The sentiment of the poem reminds me of so many little ones I have met, who know Christmas is not going to be special in any kind of way. They are not asking for much yet it is still too much.
