With a twist of creativity,
Turkey can become a curry
Whether a masala or vindaloo,
There is a curry there for you.
***
Strips of Christmas turkey,
With a curry sauce of choice,
Some rice on the side,
And a pudding for the night.

Quick grab your coat,
We don’t want to miss the deals,
We need to get to town,
And spend money on those “Steals”.

2019 Christmas Countdown 24: Get Excited
There are traditions to uphold,
And new ones to make,
A Christmas tea to be had,
And cakes to be baked,
Movies to watch,
And board games to be played,
And that one tradition,
We all insist has just been made.
***
Bit after the excitement,
It’s time to sleep,
Before he sees you,
When he creeps,
And drops down the chimney,
With sooty foot,
To leave the presents,
Where the tree is stood.
***
Sleep well in the thought,
That Santa will come,
His gifts will bring joy,
To everyone,
And make sure to leave,
One thing out for he,
A drink of milk or maybe some brandy.
2019 Christmas Countdown 23: Reindeer
Right around the corner,
Each child is wearing,
In will come Santa Clause,
No sound he will be making,
Down on the roof,
Each house he will visit,
Ever quiet and still,
Reindeer silent on hoof.
