Christmas eaves’ drop - red and green leaves of pre-December. The snow-white clouds, the beard of Santa Claus’ pre-remember. The elves are surely hammering whilst Mrs. Claus is yammering. The yawning of maples and oaks ‘fore their pre-sugar-plum dream. Boughs with wrappings held high in the pre-burr of holiday theme. The silver bells are jingling whilst Mrs. Claus is mingling. The squirrels gathering chestnuts - heading for the pre-open fire. This is the time of cheer when old white men are on pre-hire. Elves in the North Pole, serious whilst Mrs. Claus is merrily delirious. Milk, cookies, hot chocolate - cupped, shaped, pre-bakes. The crisp, grim, lake of late Autumn leaves, Daddy rakes. From bed, whoops an early “ho-ho-ho!” whilst Mrs. Claus helps Santa glow. 11/4/2022

Kim, your poem is amazing, and makes me want to decorate for Christmas but I think is still too early, perhaps at the end of November, and congratulations on receiving the POEM OF THE DAY honor

That IS a good one! Surely some Christmas movie has an Elvis Elf, if not you need to submit your screenplay;) Thank you, Gershon!
