Christmas is Early

Every Christmas I write a poem for my family members. It is a tradition i ahve upheld since I was eight (i am now 20). I decided to get my Christmas poetry writing started early and I sent this out in an email to all my family members. (They are all last minute shoppers except me). I hadn't received any Christmas lists form them yet, so I decided to write this as a fun little reminder for them to send me their lists.

Enjoy!

Everyone knows it's that time of the year,
When we start getting presents and spreading our cheer!
The people don’t know but x-mas is soon to come knocking
and no one should be left without a stuffed stocking!

A side note in my sweet Christmas preparings,
would you mind sending me your lists so I may get some bearings?
For I want to be able to give you a present
and I don’t want it rush delivered so Christmas can be pleasant.

I know I may have caught you while you are off guard,
But the Christmas countdown is shorter than a yard!
only 21 days until wrapping goes flying
and bows and ribbons we can start to untying.

My poem must end because I'm quite tired
so I hope this little poem has gotten you inspired.
My list I will have in less than a week
So hopefully you wouldn't mind taking a peek?
