Midweek Reflections on Writing Christmas Poems
It's December 4, 2013 and already I've written five Christmas poems, which are "The Christmas Truce of 1914Open in new Window., "Santa StalkerOpen in new Window., "A Commercialized ChristmasOpen in new Window., "Christmas 2013Open in new Window., and "Crusty the ZombieOpen in new Window.. Two of those poems are parodies of Christmas Songs. "Santa StalkerOpen in new Window. is a parody of Santa Baby while "Crusty the ZombieOpen in new Window. parodies Frosty the Snowman. The only one of those five poems that comes close to being a traditional Christmas poem is "The Christmas Truce of 1914Open in new Window.. I would like to write about 25 or 30 Christmas poems this year and I doubt that any of them come close to being a traditional Christmas poem. I'm just not in the mood to write the tradition Christmas poem (it there is such a thing). This year one of my favorite Christmas sons is Grandma Got Run Over by a Reinder.


I'll admit that if you listen to it long enough it becomes a bit irritating because you can't get the song out of your head, but this effect usually doesn't last beyond December 31. Another song I like (in the original version) is I Ain't Gettin' Nutin' for Christmas.


Now that I come to think about it, the only time I enjoyed traditional Christmas music or poetry was when I listened to it with my Grandparents. This may explain why I enjoy writing parodies of Christmas songs and listening to nontraditional Christmas songs.
