Merry Christmas! Instead of writing a Christmas poem, since there are already plenty of them, write a poem about one of the holidays that occur around this time of year that you don’t celebrate, like Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Saturnalia, Yalda Night, Yule or any of others that I’ve missed. Post your results below.
