Let’s read together: Green Christmas

“It’s almost Christmas, and still no show!”
Cry the woodland creatures. “We still can go
Out of our houses to search for roots
And seeds in the dry grass, and maybe shoots
Of fern and fennel that think it’s spring.
We may find acorns, most anything
That’s good to eat may be in sight
For Christmas dinner, on such a night,
When the ground is bare of ice and snow,
And stars are bright, and the winds don’t blow.
Hurrah for Christmas and still no snow!”.
