poem

I chose the poem “A Visit from Saint Nicholas” by Clement Clark Moore to write this blog on. I chose this poem because It is actually a poem that I have read to me everyday. Ever since My sister and I were little girls my father would sit us down on the couch with him on Christmas Eve and read this poem to us. My dad is a Carpenter so it was always funny to see him reading to us on the couch because he isn’t really a lovey dovey man that cuddles up to us. Well anyways he reads this poem to us and it has because a Christmas tradition. Another reason why I chose this poem is because it is like Christmas in like 8 days which is pretty exciting and it gets me into the holiday spirit.  I really like this poem because it is very cute and fun to read especially to the little ones and it’s about the best Holiday ever Christmas! It also use a great amount of wonderful adjectives which makes the poem even more interesting. This poem makes me think about Christmas. It makes me think about how it was always such a fun exciting holiday especially when I was a youngster and  believed in Santa. I just thought it was the most amazing thing ever but it is still exciting even though I no longer believe that. Not only is it a great holiday because you get presents but it also gives time for families to spend time with each other and be jolly together.   I honestly am counting the days till this Christmas and it is almost here. I know on December 24 my dad will be reading this poem to me right because we go to sleep. I love Christmas and this poem so much and hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.
