Christmas in New Zealand by NanaGaye
Christmas Poetry contest entry

Just a few days to Christmas.

So much to do.

Mum has decided

We’ll have a barbecue.

 

Dad’s at the bank

Taking out some money

Baby’s in the highchair

Sucking on his dummy.

 

Nana’s in the garden

Picking pretty flowers.

Big sister’s on the phone

For hours and hours and hours.

 

Family are arriving

Putting presents by the tree

A small one for baby

A big one for me.

 

We’d better all be good

And try not to fight

For Santa Claus is coming

On Christmas night.

 

He’s a jolly fellow

In his suit of cherry red.

Pull up the covers.

Snuggle down in bed.

 

Santa will arrive

In his jet propelled sleigh.

Laughing and ho ho-ing

Across the milky way.

 

Early Christmas morning

Look up into the sky

You will see a message..

MERRY CHRISTMAS and GOODBYE

 

 


Author Notes
This poem is written with the idea of a boy telling the story of what's its like in Southern hemisphere at Christmas time. Swimming in the ocean, walking on the beaches, climbing the rocks and of course joining the family for a barbecue,
