A Christmas Ghost Story
We live in fear of Santa in this house,
said Mark Abel before the fireplace.
The family ‘stead once used to hunt grouse
had in it arranged a party of six,
observed by nought but a grandfather’s ticks.
‘Twas in the winter’s keep, continued Mark,
when an old fat man was seen on the roof.
Yet gifts were not found, come Xmas Day’s lark,
but in father’s room? The patriarch dead,
a red cap with white trim on his old pale head.
Perhaps this is not, said Mrs Abel,
what we should be hearing tonight. Nonsense!
cried Mark, with a...

Abeyance
It's often true that some of us
might drift into a Christmas funk
where even the slightest winter fuss
will silence vow me like a monk
and see me soon to chambers retreat
to hear some choir take the air,
by radio, or app discrete,
and in this way combat despair.
There...there...some bygone jingles play
like they did in Yules of yore
as longer nights abridged the day
to bring the peace we're looking for;
a silent night...a holy night...
...with angel song to ease our plight.

What One Should Not See At A Friend's Christmas Party
Steven

to get
a better look at
the Christmas tree and
becomes shocked at the
sight of
his daughter
naked.

he looks for something to give her amidst the crowd
christmas isn’t a great time
to be in town hobbling around
with the aid of a stick at it, though, she’s worth it

Christmas 1984
It was a culture shock, at least to me
The civil war had been raging and had gotten out of hand
So we left
But when I celebrated my first Christmas in the U.S.
The silence of silent night took a whole new meaning
Though we spent the night talking, eating and listening to music
That old happy tunes felt more nostalgic than ever before
But it was the silence of the neighborhood that got me
No fireworks, no firecrackers, do we even know our neighbors?
The melting pot certainly had a different feel that first year
Why was Christmas...

Christmas 1983
It wasn’t so much that the presents were under the tree
Or the anticipation of a toy I waited for that year
But it was the music from all over the neighborhood
That made Christmas Eve a holiday full of memory
While us kids played with sparklers and firecrackers
The friendly neighbors would go from house to house
They’d share food and greetings with so much joy
As everyone would wear brand new threads
I’d hear the nostalgic and joyful music from each home
While we waited for “Twelve” on our clocks and watches
My neighbor had the...

Pagan Carol
To Yule a good year
in the old Celtic way,
the Holly King rides
to break the last day.
The druids assemble
in pitch and in gloam,
to see the King’s train
ride onwards to roam.
So let us all stand
upon Charlemagne’s grave,
the pagan soul breathes
and clamours to save.

I HopeYou Don't Mind Me Unwrapping Your Present For You
David woke up one Christmas Morning and
took a shower before going into
the living room and seeing his roommate Gwen
sitting naked and backwards on a chair that
was in front of the tree and smiling at David.

Merry Christmas
A smiling Claus on the card
Makes little stitches in my heart
It holds the secret to some words
That are shallow, but still hurt
I cannot stop, you make me cry
The same card as... every time
You ask me if I was alright -
Oh, wait, a tear dropped on that line
For it is every other season
For no however reason
You compose this shallow poem
This charade of care and worrying
Pretend you've changed in words and rhythm
Gentle asking, no sin admitting
But you know real change from that fall
Would be sending no card at...
