Notes About The Poem

                   

A Pinch Of Grinch

Today, I'll do my best to teach you the recipe to keep Christmas true. You'll need to start with a loving heart, or else your plans will all fall apart. Decorating a tree sets the mood, so smile and indulge in Christmas food. Eggnog and ribbon candy are fine, but do uncork a bottle of wine. Belt out Christmas carols with gusto, and hug your friends when it's time to go. But don't forget to add just a pinch of that Santa wannabe, the Grinch. Attend church to give the Lord His due and thank Him for all He's given you. Bonding with the folks you love the most; gather your friends and family close. Wrap your gifts in bright ribbons and bows, and wear traditional Christmas clothes. Now, add a dash of wintertime fun, and build a snowman before you're done.
