There was a count of about two dozen of these
amazing tiny elves scattered throughout the room
and each had a small sack tied to their belt that
sparkled with each move they made as they danced around

With tinkles of delight they organized into groups
and went straight to work on all parts of the bare
room before them as all were given their assignments
and they scurried to complete the tasks given them

The ladies headed to the kitchen area, shaking their
heads with sadness then a tinkling broke out as each
lady reached into her pouch and with a toss of sparkling
dust transformed the small bare kitchen to one of beauty

The cupboard doors flew open and began to magically
fill with foods of every kind, both sweets, soups,
breads and boxes and cans of all manner of foods to
nourish and delight those who lived in this house

The fridge too flew open to reveal the small chicken
waiting to be cooked on the morrow yet
even as one watched it transformed
into a wonderful turkey, stuffed
and prepared to be just popped
into the waiting oven

The fridge filled with all that is needed for a family
to bring joy and fulfillment as fruit, juices, salad
and all manner of goods filled the shelves to
overflowing and the freezer almost burst it seams

The sparkling, clean counter came to life with all kinds
of sweet breads, Christmas cookies, chocolates
and pastries of a variety of kinds such as never
seen by this tiny family before for their cost was dear

With another sprinkle of magic dust the table was
set with a beautiful table cloth decorated with holly
and Christmas elves all along the edges and set with
plates and cutlery painted with Christmas trees

The ladies gathered round to inspect their handy work
and make sure nothing was missing, from the tiny
potatoes to the deep red Christmas punch which
was waiting in the fridge to bless this day of days

Then turning they showed their approval at what the men
had done with their assignments as they gazed with
delight upon the wonderfully decorated tree standing
in the center of the room with gifts pilled high under it

Garland was hanging beautifully around the room with silver
bells, stars, snowflakes, wreaths, and all manner of
Christmas decorations sparkled and twinkled on walls,
ceiling and doorways giving a festive, merry look

All smiled with delight at the four stockings stuffed and
hanging from a fireplace that now was piled high with
wood just waiting for the match to set the blaze to
burning that this cold room would crackle with warm cheer

You have caught the spirit of Christmas and the special emotion up in your poetry. I found this a very delightful poem. Now I need to go back and read the others, which I’m sure will just as delightful.

Karen, could you send those elves here???? My cupboard is bare and we have no tree. Just kidding, we are leaving the trees outside, and I need to go to the grocery store today. But send my share to an Afghani child.
This story is a classic.
