The Feeling of Christmas at My House


As the holiday season approaches, family is what matters.  At my house, the Christmas breakfast is where all of the greatness of Christmas comes together.


The Christmas Breakfast

As the season approaches
sentiments turning to family
and the Christmas breakfast
eating together.

Steaming mugs of coffee
amid piles of torn wrapping paper.
Thankfulness for all we have
and the joy of the day.

We come to the table
with warmth in the house
and in our hearts
and celebrate our lives.



The assignment for students is to pick one part of their lives that best reflects their family and the holiday season, and write a gift of poetry.
