Christmas Poems
Inspired by Alison Bernhoft.
On a Dubious Tradition
For any mass of mistletoe
The answer still is “no, no, no.”
Strategy
Since stockings yield such limited loot
This year I’ll hang a red jumpsuit.

I left three dozen cookies for Santa’s midnight snack –
He might be coming down but he’s sure not going back.
Twice a Year
Some people only go to church on Easter and on Christmas
It’s easy to forget that’s not the only time God’s with us.
