The Land of the Christmas

Author's Note:
After I wrote the poem Creative, I decided that I liked the term the land of the Christmas, I am focusing on voice.

The land of the Christmas
With Santa and Snow
With little cold elves
And candycanes you know
The land with all white
And soft warm blankets
Giving goodies and treats
In wicker baskets
Mrs. Claus and Mr.
All gathered in red
Plump little creatures
With plump little heads
The spirit of Saint Nick
The chime of his bells
The tune of the sleigh
Stories to tell
Grouped in little bunches
Making bundles and bundles of toys
All put together nice and neat
For super nice girls and boys
Reading books of the
Night before
Selling trinkets
In trinket stores
Salvation Army
Receiving donations
Santa gives
To every nation
You want to be here
You don't want to miss this
Come take a trip
To the land of the Christmas
