Wonderful, magical poem. You have captured the essence of Christmas. A nice poem to read at bedtime with the younger grandkids.

Mom's usually bring more than their fair share. Just saying.

[Rod Bluhm]

That’s for sure.

[Kristin Bluhm]

Nice seasonal expression. You could re-write and have Mrs Claus / Mom doing what she does. 🤣

[Rod Bluhm]

I was leaving that door open for you. 😊

[Aaron Waddell]

Joyful!

[Rod Bluhm]

Thanks, Aaron, and I appreciate the restack!

[Chris J. Franklin]

Lovely festive poem! That's a nice twist that it turns out to be about a dad who just wants to give his kids a nice Christmas... 🎄😎🎄

[Rod Bluhm]

Thanks, Chris! That twist could very well be a tip of the cap to you. Thanks for sharing this!

[Chris J. Franklin]

You're very welcome! And that is much appreciated. Twists are definitely one of my favourite plot devices to use, for sure, and I try to squeeze one in whenever I can. Haha... 😎

[Francesca Bossert]

Well done! And how fun to write a Father Christmas/ Saint Nick / Santa Claus poem.

[Rod Bluhm]

Thank you, Francesca!

Thanks, Mary!
