It's good to take a break from the heavy side of things sometimes. Congratulations on your achievement. I appreciate people who can write humor pieces. At the same time, you imparted some valuable lessons about the importance of teamwork and acknowledgment.

Christmas in July! I love that thought. All these Santa poems are really good. I'm having a hard time picking my favorite. If I wrote one it would be dark. A story about Christmas cheer gone wrong or something. Hmm, too much eggnog and a snowmobile, or, a Christmas tree hunt with wolves or bears. Oh, the possibilities(probabilities).

Very creative. Great work.
Excellent imagery and rhyming, very natural.

Debi,

This is a wonderful Christmas poem. Did you win last year, if not you should have. I love the way this poem rhymes and it is very upbeat.

Well done my friend

Cecilia

I don't think kids would go for Christmas in July. It would be too hot for Santa to make his rounds. One of my aunts used to tell this sick joke. "Momma, why are we having Christmas in July?"
"You little fool, don't you know you have cancer?"
I didn't realize Santa had been overworking his staff like that. It's a wonder Mrs. Claus hasn't set him straight. This is a clever idea and well rhymed. I'm glad Santa came to his senses and gave his reindeer and elves their due. Best of luck in the contest.
I hope the Oxervate is working for you. I think my eyes feel worse after two weeks of the eye drops than they did before. Maybe it takes longer to see improvement. judi

    You are right, that is not a very nice joke. I wrote this last year but thought it be fun to re-post as it is getting harder and harder to write. I will take it easy in the new year until after surgery and the doctor said the kind I need it maybe months before my eyes are of good use again. However I am still doing my tribute poems. And you will be one of the first.
    I do know what you meansbout feeling worse. I hate it but I am only half way through so we will see.

    Thanks for all the fun comments for this silly one. Take care of yourself, dear friend. Love, Debi

    You are welcome. If we can't trust our government, why should we trust Santa Claus? I'm not nearly as bad off as you when it comes to my eyes, but I am finding it more difficult to read because my eyes start burning. I still have 6 more long weeks to go. judi

    Nobody gets on this stuff without it being miserable, Judi, so please take care of yourself. I care about you and what your eyes are going through too. You are a remarkable woman and I hope it helps to know that I hate it too. I don't know who is worse off, but I do know it is not fun for either of us.
    God bless you and Merry Christmas my dear friend.

Your poem is such a fun twist on the classic Santa story! I love how you bring humor to Santa's troubles with the reindeer and the elves. The playful tone is great. This is so funny. I especially enjoyed the idea of Santa's "super-sized" ego! It's a delightful read that brings a smile and a chuckle - great work!

Debi, I wish I had six stars to give you for this really cute and funny poem about Santa getting demoted with his people that work for him. You used great descriptive words and the imagery is amazing. Looks like Santa is pushing the reindeer, instead of the reindeer using Santa in the sleigh. Best wishes in the contest dear friend! Teri

A delightful and very delicious entry. Santa is down in the dumps, elves and reindeer on strike. This was hilarious and so different from other Santa and reindeer stories.
Best wishes,
Mary

nicely done. I'd vote for your entry to win the contest. I like the flow, the storyline, and the description of Santa's labor problems both with his reindeer and his elves going on strike.

    Awe, thanks Jake. You are so sweet and this was a silly contest, so it was fun to create a little drama between Santa and reindeer and elves.
    Thanks again, my dear friend.
