Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well and that you’re all starting to get into the holiday spirit – yes, I know there’s still about a month ’til Christmas, but it’s never really too early is it? It’s not for me anyway, and so I thought I would help ease you all into the coming season with a poem about When I know It’s Christmas. I hope you enjoy it.
When I Know It’s Christmas
When the scent of cinnamon fills the air
And snow is falling everywhere
When choruses of carols blare
That’s when I know it’s Christmas
When shops start stocking extra toys
And excited kids make extra noise
When people are full of festive joys
That’s when I know it’s Christmas
When there are pantomimes and school plays
And kids are on school holidays
And when there are cosy fires ablaze
That’s when I know it’s Christmas
When we trot the decorations out
And mistletoe hangs over every pout
When presents are opened with happy shouts
That’s when I know it’s Christmas
When the family have all been fed
And the kids have finally gone to bed
When all season’s greetings have been said
That’s when I know it’s Christmas
As always, thank you very much for reading, I really do appreciate your time!
Until next time,
George

This poetry took me into a holiday mood. But Christmas seems so far away yet so near.
Heartfelt piece of work!

True, Christmas also means the year is ending soon. This year truly went by in a flash. But it was refreshing to read about the upcoming holidays from you, glad I stumbled on your blog.

I know it’s Christmas when the shops here start playing Boney M 😬

Yep, the music is definitely a good indicator of how close we’re getting to Christmas. I think it helps to nudge the grumpier folk among us into the holiday spirit 😂

I think it’s a time of year where most of us put aside our stuff and get along. That’s nice.
