What Christmas means to me by Judy Martin
What Christmas means to me
Fairy lights all twinkling
Baubles on the tree
Homemade decorations
That’s what Christmas means to me
****
Singing Christmas carols
Watching specials on TV
Playing games together
That’s what Christmas means to me
****
Families around the table
Goodwill and harmony
Sharing good times with others
That’s what Christmas means to me
****
It’s not just about the presents
Or the jolly festivities
It’s appreciating our blessings
That’s what Christmas means to me
****
Author Bio:
Judy Martin has just turned fifty and has entered a new phase in her life. She recently started work as an Associate Nurse in the community and loves it, finally finding her niche. She has in the past, done everything from serving as a soldier in the Women’s Royal Army Corps, to helping manage a kebab shop!
Judy has been writing humorous poems since she was a little girl. She has always had a love of words, and expressing herself through rhyme is so appealing. She enjoys the rhythm of the words as they dance to her tune.
She draws her inspiration from everyday events that most of us can relate to and puts her unique spin on it. Her large family is often her inspiration, as is the weather, the seasons,housework, even sex. No subject is safe from manipulation into verse!
Judy lives in the beautiful county of Kent with her long-suffering husband Bob, (Mr Grump), daughter Lucinda (Miss Hap), and not forgetting Roxy, the beautiful Cavalier King Charles spaniel.
