MERRY CHRISTMAS

[little tree]

By E. E. Cummings

little tree

little silent Christmas tree

you are so little

you are more like a flower

who found you in the green forest

and were you very sorry to come away?

see          i will comfort you

because you smell so sweetly

i will kiss your cool bark

and hug you safe and tight

just as your mother would,

only don't be afraid

look          the spangles

that sleep all the year in a dark box

dreaming of being taken out and allowed to shine,

the balls the chains red and gold the fluffy threads,

put up your little arms

and i'll give them all to you to hold

every finger shall have its ring

and there won't be a single place dark or unhappy

then when you're quite dressed

you'll stand in the window for everyone to see

and how they'll stare!

oh but you'll be very proud

and my little sister and i will take hands

and looking up at our beautiful tree

we'll dance and sing

"Noel Noel"

santa, please

LETTER TO SANTA

Dear Santa:

This year I'm not going to ask for much, I just want a coat and some money for my things.
I also want to ask you a little happiness for my house, because there is a lot of tension due to my studies.

If you can bring me some desire to study, I will thank you a lot (jajajaja). Is that I have a problem or something, I try to study and I do it but later on in the exam I fail,and is a shit because my parents say that I don’t study and that isn’t true.

What I have said, I only want a coat, because I don’t need nothing more, a bit of happiness but isn’t much important,

Regards.
