X mas is solemn in crisp folly of snowflakes’

Frolic as I stop at X crossing as train brakes.

XS sweater for cousin Sue, whose kindness marks

Spirit of time with kith and kin, as train embarks.

An Xbox for young cousin George who on sweets gorge.

This hibernal view reminds me of Valley Forge.

Of that awful winter where want was greatly found.

I pass marquee with X rated tilm for homebound.

X large hard boiled eggs for festive game quite jolly.

Xeroxed sheets of Xmas carols filled with holly.

Boxed set of Xena: Warrior princess for Will,

Who likes adventure that has thrills that give a chill.
