Christmas Eve a little girl
dreams about her magic world,
wakes to find on Christmas morn
sparkling snow upon the lawn.
Grabbing slippers, slides downstairs,
Mum is busy arranging chairs,
promise of visits from cousins afar,
scooping what's left from the mincemeat jar.
Into the lounge to admire the tree
that took so long to finally see,
presents piled as high as the moon,
people arriving very soon.
Loving hugs from Mum and Dad,
stockings opened feeling glad,
cinnamon smells waft here and there,
sister running down the stair.
Table set so good and fine
maybe later a sip of wine?
Christmas pudding gently steams
vivid too, those Christmas dreams.
Brand new dress, plaited hair,
who's that knocking-someone's there?
A happy time for families
oh! those Christmas memories.

Great write
This is a great write, memories of Christmas sure are special to have. I have so many and this year it will be so hard. This must have been a very good little girl you write about here my kids are up at 6am and all the presents are done with by 8am. I dont think they would ever be able to wait that long for things to be opened. best wishes and good luck in the contest Brian.

Smashing rhyme that really paints a picture in my mind of how things used to be. It was a better time to be a child if you were lucky enough to have a family and live in a safe place. Very well done Hilly.
