Christmas Eve

by Rajni aged 11

It’s just been Christmas!
That was in the past,
My parents said be a good girl
or you won’t get what you asked.

My stocking was hung,
The tree was lit.
Hoping to hear the footsteps of St Nic.

Anxiously I waited all night long,
Until mum came in and sang me a song.

That night I remember as clear as day,
When I looked out the window
and saw Santa on his sleigh.

His nose was like a cherry
and he looked rather merry.
As he gave his reindeers a call, he shouted,
“Merry Christmas and a good night to all!”
