Well hello again, for the month of December I have decided to post a blog about Christmas. The poem that I chose to do this month is called Christmas Time by Courtney Mayer. I chose this poem because I wanted to chose a poem based on the month, since this month is about Christmas I decided chose a Christmas poem, in January the poem would be about resolutions and a new year.
To me, this poem sounds kind of like "oh my god, another Christmas." I don't know why but it sounds like this person does not like Christmas or just looks at the bad things about Christmas. For example, in the poem it says: Nows' the time that it gets cold. It's getting close to the holidays, these Christmas songs are getting really old. Ain't these times supposed to be jolly days? Well, it really doesn't sound that way but it sounds bad. You'll be the judge of that.
To me, the poem means that Christmas time is the time where the family will gather and some relatives will pinch your cheeks even though you don't like it. Personally, I don't like my relatives pinch my cheeks because when they do it, it hurts a lot. Anyway, it also means that almost everyday carolers will be singing outside your door until you get tired of the same Christmas songs. When you go outside to play, you tend to fall and skin your knees. What the author is trying to say is that even though Christmas is the time where we all tend to be happy we still have some sad parts.
If you have other meanings to this poem please put it, it would really help.you be the judge of that.
