Brenda Meier-Hans Poet Rhyme

December 6th Happy Nikolaus Day

On December the sixth, we were waiting for snow
As I drove to the house of little Heath and Bo.
I was chilled to the bone as I got in my car,
Thankful I didn’t have to drive very far.

As I drove through the town, I looked at the lights
The Snowmen the Santa’s such beautiful sights. 
I passed by a church with a manger so dear,
Remembering Christmas is drawing very near.

The peace of the season began to warm my soul
And soon I stopped thinking I was at the North Pole.
With presents in my one hand and chocolate in the other,
I arrived at the home of the sister and brother.

Their eyes were just sparkling with smiles all aglow,
It was Nikolaus day for good children you know.
We opened the presents, sang songs and we read.
Then partied till the children were tucked in their bed.
