A collage of light hearted holiday quips on gifts, Santa, kissing under the mistletoe and the cost of cheer. Witty lines critique gift giving, miserliness, and the Spanish Inquisition era humor, ending with a note on holiday generosity.
A narrator watches his wife race through Christmas gift production, comparing her feverish knitting and sewing to a grueling endurance event. December 22 through 24 unfold with clock ticks, sewing sounds, and a final win by a narrow margin as gifts are wrapped and delivered.
A nostalgic Christmas verse captures a storyteller by the fireplace with Wood in and room all night. The refrain celebrates the season with warmth and neighborly cheer as voices echo the line Chris'mus comes but one't a year.
A rural family recalls Christmas with a father who served in the army, a mother who tended him, and the joy of small rituals as they grieve Lois and honor the old soldier. The piece echoes memory, shared jokes, and the line Chris’mus comes but one’t a year as the holiday passes.
A nostalgic meditation on Christmas as the universal children's day. The piece urges adults to shed arrogance and adopt a childlike perspective, recalling stockings, family warmth, and the simple desires of children, to keep Christmas real and loving.
A linesheet Christmas message celebrates goodwill sent along the wireless. It extends warm greetings from the author and their circle to the reader and theirs in a festive, seasonal tone.
A clipped joke mentions a person with eight or nine necktie holders who recently received four more for Christmas. The speaker guesses the note refers to a man who bath shall be given, a playful misquote in a fragmented article fragment.
The fragmentary line hints at a whimsical scene involving a wax doll and a wish. No clear people, places, or events are identifiable to form a coherent news item.
A northern Europe Christmas myth tells how Saint Winnifred halted a pagan idol by felling a sacred oak as a sudden wind destroyed it. A nearby fir survived, and he declared this young evergreen the holy tree of the Christ Child. Pagans adopted it, decorating it with lights and gifts at Christmas.
