Merry Christmas

Early to bed
Anticipate the dawn
No thoughts of our Saviour
Or the day he was born

Tossing and turning
No sleep to be had
Excitement is growing
Driving me mad

Peer through the curtains
Searching the sky
Hoping perchance
To see him fly by

Squeals of delight
He surely has been
Little sis impatient
To share what she's seen

Skip through the kitchen
Crumbs left on his plate
Gifts galore surprise me
Santa was definitely worth the wait



I'm taking a blogging break while I celebrate the holidays. Have a wonderful time, stay safe and I will see you again in the New Year.

  3. As "Christmas approached, the town became gorgeous".
    Christmas song flows, and a roadside tree is displayed with gorgeous neon.
    I am excited just to walk the town. "

  9. Your poem describes the madness of my childhood, was awake to open our gifts, my brother and I. Before packing off to my Oma and Opa's place (2 hour drive away), where 18 of my 24 cousins will be awaiting their gifts from Oma and Opa. Not to mention, my aunts, uncles and cousins' wives/girlfriends and great grandchildren. How times have changed.

  11. So sweet.... and part of me wishes that I once had believed in Santa... but part of me is glad that I wasn't lead to believe and could love the gift being given by a giver.
