nojomo8 + Christmas poem

11/08/2010

1. At what age did you find out Santa wasn't real? Do you think it changed your view on Christmas?
Santa? hmm the same year I found out the Chanukah man wasnt real. I was 11?
I didnt have much of a view of christmas since all I knew about it was that christians go to church and get presents from santa.
Did it change my view of Chanukah? nope. Actually, made me feel better about it. I had a few nightmares when I was a child about the chanukah man.

2. How long have you kept an online diary? What made you start one? Why do you keep with it?
I started on FOD in 2001. I came to bloop in 2003.
I started because I wanted a place to write down my ideas and be able to share my thoughts and feelings with complete strangers who wouldnt judge me. It would give me a place to keep my poetry and get feedback on them too.

3. photographic prompt: what do you see every time you walk out your front door?

If I could see again? it would be my across the street neighbor's house.

75. Merry Christmas To You
12/25/2006

Church bells ringing
People singing
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

People are driven
Gifts are given
Smile on Children's faces

Watching football
Old friends call
Laughing about times so long ago

People bough their heads
Grace is said
Eating a warm meal

Gathered around the Christmas tree
Children ancy with glee
They open gifts from Santa

Peace and love
A sound is heard from above
"MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND ALL A GOOD NIGHT"
