Excellent

Very nice poem. It brings back memories of my childhood as well. I appreciate the reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. I just have a few suggestions for you. Thank you for sharing!

I think you meant "a (good) dinner".

Be sure to correct "jewellery" to "jewelry".

I would remove the line that separates the Christmas day with the going back to school. To me it seems to make the poem feel choppy.

Thank you so much. I though that spelling was strange, but that is what spell check gave as a correction. LOL Blessings. Barbara

Like the tell a story in a poem format. You have let out how sometime children do certain things in expectation of something greater from their mom. They usually feel let down when they don't get what they want.

Brought tears to my eyes -- yet I believe you were the most blessed of all. You recognized a gift more precious than all the rest.
