What’s in a gift?

There

nestled

all a r o u n d

the Christmas tree

so m a n y presents

wait m o s t expectantly.

Tiny ones amongst the B I G …

boxes containing "who knows what!"

Some... wrapped up in shiny red paper,

others... cloaked... in s a t i n pillowcases…

‘I’m Saving the Planet’… annoying the kids!

It’s a l w a y s such an enjoyable thing to do…

Wrapping 'useful' things like ‘collage’ sticky-tape.

Egg cartons… a f u t i l e disguise they make!

Christmas Eve… they shake, rattle and roll…

guessing the gift, h i d i n g inside…

here a sniff… not s o a p again!

There, a squeeze - more lollies?

They know every gift…

on Christmas Day

including

J e s u s

Christ!
