This is a very cute and humorous poem. Your rhythm snd rhyme are just right. I can see the elves all being upset at Santa and his changes. I wish you well in the contest.

Hi gramma I thank you very much for such a kind review and comments.
However, I just realized that the ending that I thought had saved was different than the one you read.
. Just thought you might want to see what really happened. LOL. Thanks again, my dear friend.

This is a cool poem. It makes sense a more human do you think? I like the picture and the text you chose for your stance makes it stand up very nicely. Perhaps we will have Christmas in July. How cool would that be? Perhaps two christmas is but too many have forgotten and taken the christ out of christmas. A great submission and lots of fun to read. I hope you have the best evening thank you so much!

And I wasn't sure if you knew that Christmas in July is a real thing here in the states, it is too bad they still call it Christmas, but they do and it is a big thing here. I myself get into it as I don't like that they are still using Christ's name.

Sorry no sixes are available for this very funny poem that has a huge chance of winning the contest. It is so creative and the rhymes do not feel forced. It is truly a bright and shiny jewel.

Computers are wonderful and horrible at the same time. I understand completely because I have done similar things unknowingly. Most were corrected before too many viewings. Your update is excellent.

This is so sad. I started crying about half-way through. Christmas MUST endure. I am going to call the Northpole and see if they need me to suit up.

I'll need to gain a pound or two and grow a beard, but the team needs me.

Thanks for alerting me to the issues with your poem.

Tell Santa he can borrow my power wheel chair if any of the reindeer get out of hand again. If Santa waits until July, he'll have to get himself a much thinner suit. This was a fun poem!

I checked it out and believe it's the same one I read. Anyhow, for some reason, I don't seem to have that sixth star today to give out. The last couple of days I've had a bit of trouble with the site.

Hi
This poem fits the contest well. It is very witty and in some cases may be slightly true about how hard the reindeer and elves work. The the reindeer only work that one night but the elves work year round.
I like the las line.
Good luck in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Happy Holidays.
Joan
