A Christmas Poem
Christmas comes only once a year,
And before you know it it’s already
.
Family fights and Christmas Eve stress,
Leaves me exhausted and praying for
.
Thinking what presents to buy is quite hard,
But worse is the damage to my credit
.
I’m not complaining, I like wrapping presents,
But let’s forget turkey and start stuffing
.
Turkey is dry and not very nice,
Why not paella at a much better
?
Tradition is fine, if it give satisfaction,
But the best thing about Christmas is human

A Christmas Surprise
I
was often sent to bed long before I felt sleepy. This was always annoying, but
never more so than at Christmas time, when the buzz and excitement of the
festive season was at its height.
I spied on my parents from the top of the stairs where, if I was quiet and
looked down at the right angle, I could see into a small part of the living room
and sometimes hear my parents talking above the noise of the TV.
One year, a few days before Christmas, something was wrong. The door to the
living room was kept closed and there was more movement than usual coming from
inside, mostly from my dad.
I tried to see through the frosted glass of the living-room door, but it was no
good. All I could see were blurred images and I could hear only muffled sounds.
I went to bed. Tossing and turning in frustration, wondering what the hell was
going on down there. This went on for the next four or five days. What were they
doing?
On the 23rd December I finally got the break I’d been hoping for. Mum went into
the kitchen to make tea and left the living-room door slightly open. From my
secret spot on the stairs I peered into the room and saw my dad working on
something on his hands and knees. Some of his tools were spread over the floor
and in front of him I could just see something brown. It seemed to be made of
wood.
I tried to see more, but mum came back and closed the door firmly. She hadn’t
seen me, but I still had no idea what was keeping dad so busy and why it was
such a secret. Was it something for me?
Christmas morning came and with an excitement I hadn’t known before I ran
downstairs to open my presents. I saved the biggest present for last and as I
tore off the paper I realised what my dad had been working on for the last two
weeks. He’d made me a wooden fort for my cowboy and Indian models. I had never
seen anything so beautiful. What a surprise!
