Christmas Time Poem by Catherine Habbie

Christmas Time
It is Christmas time
Memories of Auld Lang Syne
& getting together over mulled wine
Snowflakes & fresh bakes
Grandma's plum cakes

Of Wise men and Vixen
Donner & Blixen
They put the Nutcracker to shame
As together they mingle
& dance for Kris Kringle

The carols are heralds
Of Advocaat & Eggnog
Maybe even cookies & Yule log?
Toasted marshmallow
& Old friends popping in to say hello

To meet Santa, there is always a queue
& under the mistletoe, you can never feel blue
So with Dasher & Dancer
With Comet & Cupid
Come get together lets get stupid
