A New Bike

A new bike, not any bike, a big kid a bike. 
                     That is what we wished for that year for Christmas
                  One without training wheels that's what we would like.

                    Christmas morning, we were getting ready for the day. 
                 Getting on our Christmas dresses, suit and fixing our hair.
                   Thinking about what could be under the tree out there.
                A stuffed bear, a new toy truck, or maybe shoes for ballet!

                 It's time to open our gifts. The time we waited for all year. 
           We raced into our living room, and there we saw three new bikes! 
         We ran towards them with great excitement and shouted with cheer!

                    My sister got a blue bike, and I got a dark pink one. 
                  our brother got a cool yellow one, transformer themed
                   We couldn't wait to go out and ride them in the sun.
                       
             We got our shoes and coats on and ran outside to try them out.
                It was now time to come in and spend time with the family.
                 Eating Christmas dinner and making wonderful memories.
                 That is one Christmas I will never forget without a doubt.

      

        Though I was young and thought Christmas was all about the gifts. 
        I know now as I get older that Christmas isn't all about the presents.
           It is a time of giving and spending time with family and friends. 
        The most important thing of is remembering the birth of our Savior 
        Jesus Christ. I hope you enjoyed the poem and I wish you all a very  
                                            Merry Christmas!

As children, Christmas is the one day that we can't wait for to come. My earliest memory of Christmas was when I was like 3-4 years old and I got my first bicycle. It was a 3-wheel tricycle of course, but I rode that thing till I was about 5 yrs old (maybe even 6) lol. But like you, I have learned that there is much more to Xmas than presents. Wonderful story, Ann Marie. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Hugs Charlie
