A Nightmare Before Christmas
What an awesome movie.
Beyond creativity.
Released in 1993.
Animated movie 100 times.
Is it a Hallween movie?
Is it a Christmas movie?
You decide.
It could be both dark and light.
So many characters.
A really cool plot about him and her.
In between the lines.
Was alove story.
One was in prison.
One was always wondering.
What is Christmas?
I am Jack the king of the pumpkin patch.
All dress up as Santa.
Spooky, creepy, toys to drop from the night sky.
Lights sparkling, fireworks blaring.
It’s Christmas time for Halloween.
Sally and Jack, true love finely.
A holiday tradition,
Christmas time with Dad.
A gourmet appetizer.
Chicken livers cooked,
with sherry, garlic.
Keep cold to-
spread
Rest and celebrate
Protecting my mental health
Decorative lights
Santa sang as he approached the streets.
Couldn't wait to give out some treats.
From the window, he looked East.
He saw there was a feast.
Rode back and had all the sweets.
Frosty got so bored inside on a Monday.
He came out and walked along the way.
He had put on new glasses.
Stood beside a campfire outside the classes.
He cried and watched himself melt away.
Rudolph took Elf on a walk at night.
It was quite dark, his nose shone bright.
Loud Christmas bells made elf's ear slack.
Laughing at elf's ear, nose turned black.
Rudolph couldn't help but run out of sight.
Frosty
there once was a snowman named frosty
whose figure was round and quite glossy
he danced through the town
till the sun came around
and left poor old frosty quite saucy
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
there once was a reindeer named rudolph
whose bright nose would often just show off
he lit up the sleigh
but led them astray
when he stopped for a snack at the bake-off
Santa and the Elves
there once was a santa so stout
whose elves loved to scurry about
but they mixed up the toys
for the girls and the boys
and poor santa was left with a pout

Santa, Frosty, Rudolph or Elf-

We see Santa and Frosty,
Having their rush shopping spree;
Buying many toys,
For all girls and boys,
Then hire ten elves to carry.
As hosts of Christmas party,
Have rock band to play loudly;
Both lead hip-hop dance,
We all look askance,
As they shake their huge belly.
Rudolph and an elf came in,
Shaking their hips with their chin;
Sway from left to right,
Hug each other tight,
Making their hosts bounce and spin.
Vacation amidst fun-filled holiday
Triumphantly spent along wondrous way
As Christmas friends bonded well
Marked with their fellowship yell:
“Rudolph, Frosty, Elf---for helping we stay!”
In their blest glow, together, gifts they share
Vibrantly exuding their gracious flair
Extending kindness with bliss
From their merry hearts’ abyss
Shouting: “Rudolph, Frosty, Elf brings God's care*!”
Singing their New Year jingles with delight
They inspire others against gloomy blight
Cheering to smite doubt and pout
Praying that in reaching-out
“We --- Rudolph, Frosty, Elf --- face freedom-flight.”
*Ephesians 4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Frosty the snowman needed therapy.
There's a problem with my olfactory.
No matter what scent wafts by,
Or what cologne that I try,
It's only carrots I smell, don't you see?
There once was an elf by the name of Zig.
Who, unlike the rest of the elves, grew big!
Rather than stay and not fit,
He stowed on the sleigh and split!
Now Big Ziggy the elf drives a big rig!
The snowman just didn't know what to do...
He was so afraid of catching the flu!
His carrot nose in the way,
And the mask just wouldn't stay,
So to make ears, he broke his nose in two!
A unique Christmas time for Santa Claus,
fiftieth year of journey without pause.
All gifts he stacks in the cart,
gets ready to soon depart,
he feels for a mishap there is no cause.
On snow-covered track Rudolph runs inspired,
chilled wind on the face, Santa feels he’s tired.
He spots bench in sunny park,
rests there after night’s hard work.
Soon slips into deep sleep though undesired.
Mistaking Santa’s snoring as some blast,
Rudolph thinks danger has arrived at last.
Lets Santa snooze, darts away
with gifts rattling in the sleigh.
Santa wakes up, along the trail runs fast.
it’s past sleep
the presence of quietness lingers
dark cheeks
against the window pane
but there’s light
on my side
of the street
Christmas lingers
like electricity
surging through wires
and the switch
won’t be turned off
quite yet
my tree stands tall
in its present darkness
because
it’s past sleep
but my mind lingers
over this poem
that I must complete
before
I climb under warm sheets
and I switch
to dreams
of
proverbial sugar plums
no crumbs
left for the eve
of a new year
but
that is a story
for
the morrow
no longer
will I linger
it’s quite late
I’m off
to bed
ready
set
snooze
and I linger
til
ten o’clock
as a bright
then brighter
light lingers
Once was a saint, round and vast,
Whose sight was strangely amassed,
He gave gifts unseen,
A concerning scene,
‘cause giving was getting fast.
Elves, with their laughter so shrill,
Made toys with joyous free will,
With hammers, they’d bang,
And merrily sang,
A chaos craft, standing still.
Then Santa paused in his flight,
And pondered the elves tonight,
“Their chaos,” he smiled,
“Wonderfully wild,”
“The chaos toys shining bright.”

The reindeers were ready to go
When Santa called out Ho Ho Ho
Put the toys on the sled
Then to Rudolph he said
Shine up your red nose let it glow.
He waved to the elves a goodbye
Then lifted the sleigh in the sky
Rudoph’s nose surely shone
While the reindeers raced on
And yes, to your house he stopped by.
Then went down your chimney did he
While reindeers ate carrots with glee
And for each girl and boy
Santa left them a toy
Made sure they were under your tree.
Holiday recipes created by others
Christmas dishes decorated in festive colors
Laden with sugar and salt sweet and sour
Where is my long-gone missing will power?
Any dieting I did before I left at the moors
When families meet, my appetite soars
Fattening foods and decorated tables outdo each other
An amusement for a professional cook, my grandmother
Halloween
blackish, villainous
haunting, frightening, chilling
jack-o-lanterns, treats, gifts, christmas lights
rejoicing, lightening, wrapping
cheerful, enjoyable
