Greetings, sir!

I'm on the hunt for holiday items ("12 Days Of Christmas 2024" Open in new Window.) and found your poem.

It's a suitable reflection on the theme of finding joy in the simple continuity of life and seeking love and balance in everything from day to day. I see a sort of childish glee expressed in the last couplet as the narrator thinks of Santa even though he probably doesn't really "believe" in Santa anymore. Speaking of which, Santa's surname is Claus, without an E. A clause is a piece of fine print in that legal document you signed recently *Rolling* (just a little notary joke...) Anyway, I see where the narrator realizes the true meaning of Christmas, moving beyond the superficial to the basic truths of reality.

Your couplets feel at times rather strained or lengthy, but I know this is your preferred style and I can't think of anything better to suggest. It's a carefully crafted piece, and I'm glad you're finding reasons to be happy this season.

Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep writing *HeartT*
