The boy, who plays the man,
swells with joy, with festive plan,
in mind, he puts on a red suit,
to find those gifts, those friend salutes,
wrapping goes well, but the cello-tape,
re-tells that lasting “where’s my end?” jape,
but after a few drams, all is complete,
apart from a smile, from a happy street!

- Comment from author about the poem: This short poem is about the "Santa Claus" in me, that comes alive around this time of year. Even if it's a chat/pint for a friend who needs company, or an engraved piece of art for a loved one, a thoughtful gift, can give a small amount of cheer, that can be the fuel for them to look forward to things to come. Accompanying the poem is a clipart picture of a cheery Santa with his sack of gifts, which I thought adorns the poem very nicely. I hope that the exchanging of gifts wherever you are; goes well, and that you have a Happy Christmas. I hope that you enjoy the poem, and as always stay safe everyone.

Christmas feel
With Santa inside
Even if it’s fantasy
It brings the child outside
Christmas around the corner
Hopes pile and eagerness for santa to arrive
Very poetic dear poet
Thanks for the read spilleronsheet, and again for the lovely poetic response.
May you have a very Merry Christmas, and make sure you have a drink for me!
I hope that all is well!
Drink and dine with merry and wine
Shall serve the blessings and wishes on that side
Merry Christmas to you too my dear friend
Wishing upon the shooting star flying high up in sky
I thank thee, for this glorious line of four,
Such merriment, your kindness pours,
May your festivities, be loud and proud
and may your voice, be the loudest in the crowd!
That’s a great one
I wish I could add up more lines
May that happiness be forever with us Ben.

Thanks for the read Andy, and I totally agree!
I hope that all is well!
so rare, to find festive cheer
that's not feigned or tainted
my darting eyes of despair..
thank you!
for reminding me
why the child, within me
once enjoyed this festive season,
what a gift you inked, dear poet
hope you have
a fantastic Christmas
and a happy new year,
stay safe, but remember
to enjoy yourself
have that extra slice
and a few more sips, than you should
rejoice, in simply
being alive and free 🍻
Thanks for the read L. B. Mek...
In these times so troubling,
Our worries be doubling,
But with natural humility,
We continue with activity,
With our strong intentions,
Void of sad interventions,
So, grab a glass and fill it,
For "God's" sake don't spill it,
Drink to you, drink to me,
Just delve into festive revelry!
A fun lighthearted poem ))
