Oh my, what's this before my eyes?
O what a marvelous surprise!
'Twasn't like this at all last night,
But look at it now--oh what a sight!
That bare scotch pine that we drug in,
Has come alive, with lights blinkin'
With a glowing angel on the top,
May all these wonders never stop!
But look below and all around,
Presents everywhere are found
With bright paper and happy bows,
Just what's in 'em--no one knows!
And look there on the mantle place,
It too, has a happy face
With stockings stuffed with Christmas joy,
A candy cane, a doll, a toy?
Oh what a super fun-filled day,
I'm glad that Christmas has come our way
Why do our parents sleep in so late?
Don't they know we just can't wait?
It sure looks our homes been Christmas kissed,
How could I have slept through all of this???
Merry Christmas Everyone!

Excellent
Now this is the style of Holiday Christmas poem I enjoy reading. for many years I use to wake my older sister up when I got up at 6 to 7 am in the morning she'd slug me one in the arm n go back t sleep but I always tore opened my stocking gift which was allowed and was all giddy up because it was always soemthing I wanted then I'd chow down on the candy and just have a blast. any ways this poem just really touches me as it is something I went through for many years. now that there is 3 of us left and I start to grow older I don't wake up as early infact I am the one who sleeps in the lognest lately how percilular LOL any ways exclelent poem and like the poem below said drug should be dragged but otherwise excellent work and keep up the good work and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2u2
Signed, Paul

Very good
"drug" to "dragged" drug means narcotic. You have made this in a simple format in order to capture the childlike thoughts and reactions of youngster on Christmas morn. You’ve captured so much beauty and joy into a few lines. I really enjoy your words of cheer. Your poem has captured the spirit of “Christmas" with words that awaken the child that dwells in the hearts of most people.
