waiting in Santa’s
grotto, the little girl hides
behind her mum

wrapping presents
again I lose the end
of the sellotape

let there be light!
before switching on
a tense moment

Christmas eve
happy faces except our dog
in a Santa hat

moonlight
through a chink in the curtains
carol singing

Christmas night
amidst noisy revelry
silent night

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

WISHING EVERYONE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS
