My December DD

December’s so right, has many delights
With lovely blue skies and clear starry nights
My Summer’s begun, with warmth from the sun 
And daily long walks it’s time to have fun.

The end of the year, brings many good cheer
Especially for kids, when Christmas is here.
There’s so much for me, out there just to see
It really depends on where I will be

Take a trip to some place, that I’ve never been
Keep a diary each day on what I have seen.
Or a beach holiday, not too far away
In my nice caravan, that’s where I shall stay.

Read books and relax, while munching on snacks
Go shopping for clothes, sort through all the racks
Could go for a swim, or workout in a gym
At times make no plans, just go on a whim.

With voices so fine, we’ll sing Auld Lang Syne
On each New Years Eve, at midnight clocks chime.
The month of December, has much to remember
And so, to you all, that’s me from ‘Down Under’

Greatly enjoyed your sweetly rhyming poem on Christmas days. There is so much to do during this pleasant month. I suppose you live in tropical climate. The same with me and for us Christmas is a time of pleasant weather. "Could go for a swim, or workout in a gym At times make no plans, just go on a whim." Love these lines. Congratulations Christine on your win.

I like your Decembers. Ours are so different climate-wise. Do you ever get snow at all, or are summers for you also fairly warm?
