Found Christmas
by Don Ford
Background
Christmas is a year 'round adventure for some. The tree and lights stay up in many
homes, thus signifying that the people who live there have the Christmas Spirit in their
hearts every day of the year.
Twas the night before Christmas,
And in our backyard,
Sat a little blue wagon,
Why would someone discard?
The wheels were well buried
In winter's last snowfall.
Two kittens were sitting
And having a ball.
And me in my scarf,
And dad in his wool hat,
We rescued those kittens,
We brought them right back
Warmed by our fireplace,
While drying their fur,
The strangest of sounds
At the front door was heard.
A jolly big man
Looking very well fed,
"I see you found Christmas"
Was all that he said.
Author notes: To get us all in the giving spirit, since we should be giving all
year around and recounting all of our gifts and blessing all the time.
