Hey don't worry about it not being your best Simon. Poetry is personal, and we cannot judge a person. That is why I never give bad ratings to poems. I just give helpful advice, or leave compliments. This is a good poem, and since I have read alot of your poems, a few things are the same, but it's ok. Original ideas will pop into place soon. Take care and keep writing!

I think its a beautiful poem.... it brings out the love of family and celebrating together on such a special day....

Smiles, Hugs and Love, Angela

Merry Christmas Simon may God bless you and your family and may all your Christmas dreams come true!

5/5 Great poem! You are truly amazing.

^_^ I LOVE IT ^_^
