Winter Poem

This winter break will be full of fun!
Lots of sleeping but also at least one
whole day of singing carols with friends
and the eating of cookies never ends!
When we come back, it will be the New Year
(with lots more writing, don't fear)!
But for now, enjoy the gift of each day
so you will feel refreshed after this holiday!
