Daily Christmas Poem: Day 22, 22nd December

The last (and 23rd) poem, is inspired by real events (he did indeed leave his autograph). Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas, and thank you for reading the #DailyChristmasPoem!

My dad says if you're greedy, Santa doesn't come. So, this year I thought very hard about my letter.

Dear Santa,

I've been really good. I haven't pushed my brother much (I know I never should). I volunteered at school, I helped Mum with the chores. I shared a room with Cousin Max, even though he snores. So, this year please, could I have these...

A yoyo (blue), some glitter glue, a hat that plays a tune, a hug from Ben - he's moved again - I've not seen him since June. A new toy for my hamster and a joke to make Mum laugh, but most of all, I'd really like...to have your autograph.

Yours,

Sam

Of Course I Won’t Touch the Glitter (for Willow Class)

Yuck, this Christmas jumper! (Nan's an awful knitter)

BUT

everything's better when it's covered in glitter!

Mum's gone out, I hate the babysitter

BUT

everything's better when it's covered in glitter!

My sister's new party dress doesn't fit her

BUT

everything's better when it's covered in glitter!

I don't like sprouts, they're green and bitter

BUT

everything's better when it's covered in glitter!

Snowflakes (for Oak Class)

Watching winter's snowflakes

drifting down, so slow-flakes

sparkling icy glow-flakes

putting on a show-flakes

making snowmen grow-flakes

but then, the sun, and no-flakes.

Celebrate Christmas! (for Beech Class)

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Christmas time is great!

Oh, what fun to laugh and play

Hooray! Let’s celebrate!

Jingle bells, jingle bells

I don’t think I can wait!

Time to hang our stockings up

Hooray! Let’s celebrate!

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Today’s a SPECIAL date!

Santa Claus has visited

Hooray! Let’s celebrate!

Under the Pine Class Christmas Tree (for Pine Class)

Under the Pine Class Christmas tree, I found

a robin called Nugget

a joke

a giggle

a lost plastic wallet

a sound like a wish

a poem full of similes

a chocolate Santa (shared)

a Christmas song

a smile when someone really needed it

and

a classroom FULL of imagination.

Midnight Snow
