Blog #10 Holidays

For my ninth blog post about "holidays," I chose to comment on a poem called "Christmas Joys." The reason that I chose this poem was because I can relate to it really well. The first example is when the poem says, "Evergreen boughs that fill our homes
with fragrant Christmas scent." I chose this because when I think of Christmas, I think of a Christmas tree. This line basically says that if Christmas could have a smell, it would spell like a good pine tree. I totally agree. The other example that I liked a lot was when it said, "Colorful lights that twinkle." The moment I heard this I just thought about how my brother, dad, and I used to all go out looking for the best Christmas lights so we could take my mom on the grand tour. There aren't many poems that I can really relate to very well, so that's why this one really made me think.
