Belated Christmas present

So, last Friday we had Samantha's birthday party and while frantically deep cleaning I pulled out the piano and found a Christmas present trapped between the piano and the wall.  It was a poem from John written at school and made into a refrigerator magnet.  I was really impressed with it so I thought I would share so that his grandma and grandpa can appreciate his genius as well as his mother. 

                                                          Christmas
                My family is Christmas, everyone jolly adn filled with hope (most of the time).
                My father is Santa, big, jolly, and usually brining good news.
                My mother is warm fire, giving warmth and light.
                My brother is the tree, thinking that he is the best and the strongest.
                My sweet sister is the milk and cookies, so sweet that she is sometimes too sweet.
                My younger brother is the colorful lights, easily put out.
                My younger sister is a stocking, with sweets filled to the top.
                My youngest sister is a present that brings surprise and enjoyment.
                And I am the star at the top of the tree, shining bright with creativity and filling my family
                with light.

Just grateful I got to be the fire and not the grinch as I was on a cleaning tirade when I found it ;)
