When do you write Christmas poems? In mid-summer of course - at least, I did with this one, in June 2024. Why? I don't know. I hadn't written anything useful for months and this one popped out. Grab the opportunity while you can, I say!

Before anyone objects, this is an English language poem, but I have taken the liberty of using different languages to create rhymes. In all cases, the non-English words represent the version of "Merry Christmas" that that language uses.

One Merry Christmas Or Another Will this Christmastime be the best one you’ve had? Will it be a joy and Feliz Navidad? Will it be an endurance of familial hell, Or peace and goodwill and a Joyeux Noël? Is visiting kinfolk at Yuletide quite risky, Or thrilling and Felicem Natalem Christi? Are you certain that your days will be exciting and full; An unforgettably happy and festive God Jul? Are your Christmases dismal or times to remember? Do you try your utmost for a Krismasi Njema? Or do you prefer to keep everything low, Instead letting others have a Maligayang Pasko? Whatever it means to you when comes the day: A tedious trial or Giáng Sinh Vui Ve?, I wish you peace wherever you’re goin’, Happiness, joy and Nadolig Llawen.
