“Every year my crazy family
Hides inside the Christmas tree
One warty little pickle
Made of plastic, colored green.
And on every Christmas morning
They hold a competition
To find that hidden pickle;
It’s their holiday tradition …”
Full of wit and rhyme, goofiness and good cheer, this collection of merry, madcap poems by Paul McDowell will have the whole family chuckling and-just like the majestic Christmas pickle-will quickly become a silly, dilly holiday tradition.
About the Author
Inspired by some of the more ridiculous episodes of Christmases past, Paul McDowell has been making silly seasonal poems for family and friends for many years. Now, he has finally released them upon the unsuspecting masses. Christmas pickles, mischievous nutcrackers, a questionable recipe for egg-nog, and the legend of Italy’s Babbo Natale (al dente, of course), are just a few of the merry and bright poems you’ll find between the pages.
He hopes you like them. If you don’t, this book also makes great yule fire material.
