Cynthia,
Thank you for sharing your poems with our community. I liked the poem about the manger.

I would question Santa drinking beer, if this is a kid's book. As a retired teacher, I believe children need good role models.

I like your art. It adds a nice touch to your book.

The first thing I noticed were the pictures, which were a great touch.

Your poetry has some very strong images (the feeling of a poor child's life being "ripped apart"), it has a very subtle hint of strong theology, and there is some downright humor. I couldn't help but laugh when I found a poem about the Grinch in there!

Your styles were also very varied--there was even a haiku. Every page also had a different background, and that was very cool, though I have no idea how the heck you did that.

There was a lot of continuity between the poems, especially those concerning Santa and his Elves. In a way, it almost feels like one big narrative.

My favorite poem was "Grandpa Got Run Over by a Beer Truck" because I like refrains, and, let's face it, the doberman biting Santa in the testicles was one of funniest lines in the book.

Keep up the good work! And I apologize for being so late in posting a review--I haven't had much time during the week.

This is a nicely done book, it had a combination of thoughtful and sincere poetry. The different forms of poetry made this book work from begining to end. When the author put the humorous pieces it, that made the plum pudding if you will to winter and Christmas.

Some of those were quite entertaining!
