It’s almost Christmas , still I'm quite annoyed Visions of North Pole, now crumpled and foiled; While youngsters for deer bells to ring My palms tuck ears from voices caroling. Fireplace adorned with trinkets on Yule rug Awaiting Ole Claus to sneak by... humbug! Wishes for red bike never came last year My card he ignored, did it disappear? Now, I wonder if you really exist... My eyes teary, as I’m not on the list Even Mama dances by the flames so proud, Repeating your name (Vixen’s too), aloud. “Dear Santa, I doubt the speed of your ride How can you bring presents in hours, worldwide? " Till a note falls,“ Child, you have to believe In the kindness this season can weave.” Surprised, my bike turns out... my delight, Faith jingling , “Merry Christmas; good night!” Laura Loo's Contest:: Any poem written on your birthday II Written 1/8/2017( my birthdate) Submitted 7/12.2017

This reminds me of Thomas who needed concrete proof to strengthen his belief! He got to see the Master, and you got your bike! Enjoyed these delightful couplets, Nette. I hope you've had a most lovely birthday:) Hugs // paul

Great Christmas poem, nette. Once the spirit has left, one feels a certain sense of relief. My Christmases are spent alone, so once they have past, they always look a little better in the rear view.

Sentimental look at how we , children once, would like to get what we exactly need. Faith abounds in your enchanting story!
