Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
The only Christmas poem I know (being Jewish, but being the child of literary parents) is “A Child’s Christmas in Wales” which I guess qualifies as more of a very long prose poem.
And all I remembered for years was the line “Let’s call Ernie Jenkins, he likes fires.”
