This is a great description of the secular side of Christmas wrapped up a wish for a happy holiday season. I think with the colored letters at the end you did not have to capitalize them too.
I wish the same to you

I feel compelled to give you a six for this innovative and very original acrostic that gives a new meaning to the form. The poem is smooth to boot, well done poet.

Comment from Bill Schott
This piece, A Christmas Poem, written as a front and back acrostic poem using A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR, follows the vertical theme and t3lls the fun part of the holiday that we all swear is true.

Comment from Heather Knight
It must have been difficult to write this. I had never seen a double acrostic before.
I like your cheerful depiction of Christmas seen through the eyes of a child.
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Pearl Edwards
How very clever and I bet it took a while to get the acrostics working well and still telling the story of a happy family Christmas morning.
well done,
cheers.

Comment from tfawcus
A very nicely constructed double acrostic. It takes a bit of tenacity to get these right, so that they make sense and maintain a reasonable rhythm. You've done a great job with this one. I appreciate the Christmas and New Year wishes, too.

Pity you didn't enter this in the Acrostic contest? A cleverly written double acrostic with love for Santa. Perhaps you could put New Year in green, or just because it hasn't arrive yet - black. well done and Happy Christmas.

Comment from Ulla
Hi Kahpot, this is an acrostic with a difference. I don't even know if it can be termed as such as I've never seen on written with the first letters making a statement but then the last letters of each do so as well. Wow. Well done. I liked it a lot. Merry Christmas to you. All the best. Ulla:))

Thank you very much, apparently it is a double-sided acrostic, who knew?****kahpot
Comment from Gloria ....
This is brilliant. First you worked out the lettering worked out evenly and then you wrote a fantastic and totally sensible and delightful poem and probably created a new form in the process. I think your line lengths are remarkably close to being perfect and really only one space out from top to bottom to create a perfectly straight line. The only thing you might try is adding a blank space here and there, but I think it's terrific.
Great job with a fun personal challenge. :)
