Jan Allison Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

What Does Christmas Mean To Me

Choking back the tears when I
Hear the tiny children singing Christmas carols
Reaching out to friends and relations 
I haven’t seen all year but sending them my news in cards
Sitting round the festive dining table with my loved ones with
Thoughts of those who are no longer with us
Miracle on 34th street on the television
And hearing White Christmas on the radio
Seeing the smiles on little faces when Santa has been

Contest: What does Christmas mean to me
Sponsor: Matt Caliri

Arthur Vaso December 26, 2015 at 4:49 PM This is lovely, when I read the first word "Choking" I was worried this was going in a completely different direction, all be it a good one!!! Time for some Grants! Jan Allison December 26, 2015 at 4:54 PM If I could 'grant' you three wishes what would they be? I do get very emotional hearing the kiddies sing Arthur reminds me of when my son was younger and in nativities - have some great video footage of him and another lad having a bit of a disagreement and prodding eachother lol:-) hugs Jan xx
