Christmas Eve
The children lay in bed this special night
Holding their breath with eyes closed tight
They know the magic won't be right
If they are found awake after midnight
Shhh, at last they hear a sound
Tinkering bells in the background
Do they dare open their eyes
And peep out at the dark skies
Will they only see the snow
Or is Santa parked across the road
They hear a creak, is it the door
Or is it the cat creeping across the floor
No this time they know for sure
It definitely was the bedroom door
Not one child dares to breathe
Or make a sound in bed this eve
They knew it was he creeping across the floor
Even quieter than the year before
Will he leave me a doll's house
Some toy soldiers and a sugar mouse
There's a lot of rattling, a creak, a groan
Now he's finally leaving our home
We wait in bed for what seems like hours
Until we're sure the house is ours
Then we are all out of bed
Feeling around to see what's been left
Our sacks are full, O what joy
We have been good girls and boys
We feel around and shake each one
To us Christmas day has begun
But suddenly out of the dark
GET BACK TO BED! The grown-ups bark.

We always put weight on at Christmas
Christmas comes but once a year
For this day we do fear
When it's over until next year
(OH JOY)for we do cheer.
For all the cakes and pasties, oh dear
On the hips and waist adhere
Now it's over until next year
(OH JOY)for we do cheer.

To wish you the very best of times
A day full of laughter and smiles
Seasons Greetings from Aberdeen!

Poems About Christmas
by Tina Burton
(Devon UK)
Christmas Time
Tinsel sparkling on the tree,
Decorations, pretty lights.
Snowflakes falling softly,
Make a land of winter white.
Adults, with a knowing smile
Say 'Santa's on his way';
Children tucked up in their beds,
Listen for his sleigh.
To you my friends, I wish for peace,
And lots of Christmas cheer;
Good luck, good health and happiness,
Throughout the coming year.

No drink for Sante please
Why does Santa look so merry?
Has he mixed the port and sherry?
In his sledge is he pie eyed?
Could we see him breathalysed?
Called into court and duly tried,
Found guilty and disqualified
What a shock for girls and boys,
If he was banned from bringing toys.
So when he battles through the drifts,
Delivering your Christmas gifts,
Don’t leave him vodka, gin or whisky
Leave him milk, it’s much less risky,
