Our Christmas Newsletter Slash Poem

I received some of the nicest compliments about our Christmas News Poem, and one of them came from an English teacher, who's biggest pet peeve is bad poems. I was worried I was about to hear how poor my poem was, but instead she told Kyle she loved it! I thought it was nice, but it also made me laugh. You see . . .

I wrote it in a hurry, wasn't sure that the timing or ryhming ever worked out right, but in my haste to get our cards out I just sent it off. To prove my point, I wrote "Love, Kyle and Gina, Catelyn, Landon, Jocelyn, Landon, and Brooklyn." I WROTE LANDON TWICE!!! I AM A TOTAL DWEEB!!!! Oh Well.

The Larsen Family Christmas News Letter Poem

We just wanted to quickly let you all know
That we are happy to have some cold and some snow.

The kids are so eager for Christmas day
“I want!! I want!!” is all that they say

Kyle’s been busy with the business of dying
I clean the house and keep kids from crying.

Reading and recess keep Catelyn glad
She’s writing, spelling, and subtracting like mad

Landon is kind, loving, and sweet
He discovered in soccer he has really fast feet

And Jocelyn’s a deary, a joy and a bear
We still can’t get over her cute curly hair.

Brooklyn is lovable, she giggles, and coos
She makes it tricky to complete the “to do’s”

From our home to yours with a smile so dear
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

All our love,
Gina and Kyle
Catelyn, Landon, Jocelyn, and Brooklyn

{I corrected my double Landon}
