A perfect family time is what Christmas is all about,
There is happiness all around,
Without any donβts,
It becomes all the more special with your family,
Because they are a reason for joy,
So, this Christmas do enjoy,
With all of them,
Merry Christmas to you and your family!

      Day 24 - from "24 Christmas Poems for Kids: Festive Advent Calendar" at imagineforest.com -- Merry Christmas to everyone!!!"Iβve been waiting for Christmas" by Unknown
Iβve been waiting for Christmas,
And itβs almost here.
Iβve been waiting for Christmas,
Santaβs getting near.
Canβt you hear the sleigh bells ringing?
Reindeer up so high.
Canβt you hear the children singing,
As they watch the sky?
