We will put in the box:
The Pentland Hills smeared with snow,
bells ringing in the street, and
baubles reflecting a warm room.
We will put in the box:
Mum’s hugs and kisses,
the smell of custard creams cooking every morning,
We will put in the box:
A red and white football,
a cocker-poo puppy called Ruby,
Rudolph’s nose blazing like a winter sunrise.
We will put in the box:
A plum pudding steaming on a sledge,
an old man wearing a sparkling Christmas tree as a hat, and
a world made of chocolate.
We will put in the box:
An angel riding a donkey
Santa pulling a sledge full of reindeer, and
three camels flying towards a star.
Our box is carved from a sheet of ice.
It has doors like an advent calendar and
the first will be opened with a chocolate key.
Jack Frost will deliver it to
the children in Hospital on Christmas Day.
His car will be made of stars with the
Moon as a steering wheel.
