The North Pole looks so pretty like a winter fairy land It is Christmas Eve and everyone must lend a hand Frosty the snowman is busy having such fun He's teasing the elves and making them run He says …. ‘Go get some trimming and wrap all those gifts … don’t overload the sled or it’ll get stuck in snow drifts’ The elves work so hard as Christmas is on its way They need all the toys ready for that very special day Sled bells get attached, oh how those jingle bells ring The elves are getting so exited they begin to sing…. “When Santa got stuck in a snow drift he began to shout... He’d better take a spade with him to dig the presents out” Santa Claus stood there laughing in his coat of ruby red He asks the elves to get ready to help him load his sled Huge sacks of presents are piled high on the bright red sled The reindeer's had been resting; Santa roused them from their bed With a hearty ho ho ho Santa and the reindeer's take to the sky He hopes all the children are tucked in bed - they shouldn’t see him fly! On Christmas Day the children wake, their faces are aglow They see the pile of presents and the sled tracks in the snow Contest Ho Ho Ho Required words.... Elves, Frosty the snowman, Christmas, jingle bells, toys, sled, sled bells, Santa Claus, trimming, Winter fairy land 11~28~16

This could become the new standard Christmas poem. It was whimsical and fun to read and left a trail of poetic sugarplum visions dancing in my head. Nicely done Jan. Good luck in the contest.
