How Does a Turtle Celebrate Christmas?

How does a turtle celebrate Christmas?

Do they open presents or make wishes?

Are they up early in the day,

wearing their best pjs?

Opening boxes, tossing wrapping paper aside,

seeking all the wonders that Santa did hide.

 

How does a turtle celebrate Christmas?

Will they attend church with their family

and listen to a concert?

Do they eat roast turkey with stuffing for dinner

and apple pie for dessert?

 

How does a turtle celebrate Christmas?

When the day is over

do they fall into dreamland

holding onto their toys?

Are they like us,

with hearts full of gratitude and joy?

 

How does a turtle celebrate Christmas?

Are they surrounded by their families and friends,

whom they love?

Do they know that the very best gifts

come to us from above?

 

How does a turtle celebrate Christmas?

I don't really know the answer,

it is true.

But I believe turtles have kind and noble hearts,

just like me and you.
