Christmas is my Shoes

Daily Christmas Poem: Day 5, 5th December

Today's poem is brought to you by the brilliant suggestion 'Christmas Shoes', from Alder Class, Carr Infant School. Thank you!

Christmas is my Shoes

I get a little bit excited when the family's all invited

but

it doesn't feel like Christmas 'til I'm in my Christmas shoes

I feel cosy by the fire when I listen to the choir

but

it doesn't feel like Christmas 'til I'm in my Christmas shoes

When the tree goes up, it twinkles, and I love snow when it sprinkles

but

it doesn't feel like Christmas 'til I'm in my Christmas shoes

I get a festive tingle when I hear the sleigh bells jingle

but

it doesn't feel like Christmas 'til I'm in my Christmas shoes

On Christmas day it’s fun – there are gifts for everyone

and

NOW it feels like Christmas

'cos I'm in my Christmas shoes!

Daily Christmas Poem: Day 4, 4th December

Today's poem was inspired by 'Brussels Sprouts', suggested by Emma Susan Gemmell. Thank you!

But They're Better for Your Teeth

Last Christmas

just for a giggle

I ate a WHOLE box of Mum’s favourite chocolates

(the ones with the golden wrappers, the ones

which are just about

sprout-sized)

I kept the golden wrappers

I kept the paper cases

I kept the pretty gift box

THEN

I found a bag of sprouts

In the fridge.

It took me all Christmas Eve to wrap them.

It took until New Year's Day for Mum to forgive me.
