Under Sweltering Hot Skies Poem by Janice M Pickett

It's not so cool down under
where storms come out to play
causing lightening and thunder
to dampen Christmas Day

Christmas by the swimming pool
and a BBQ by the sea
is the kind of Christmas
that we enjoy
my family and me

You have your snow and fires
with hot toddys to keep you warm

for us

Santa comes in on flash of lightening
in the middle of a storm

No matter how we spend it
it's still the same no doubt
families gather together
and friends all hanging out

Sharing love and joyful fun
and thanking God above
for the birth of baby jesus
and his ever present love
