Sam Wilding Christmas Special No 1
21/12/2014 Duração: 05minA Poem : A Christmas Day, by Paul Murdoch (Sam Wilding) Their hearts race on as darkness still entwines the Christmas dawn, The bed clothes fall and tiny yelps of joy announce the morn. No time to yawn, or stretch or groan; no time to check the clock, As stocking yarn is stretched and teased, we hear a plaintive knock. ‘Oh look what Santa left last night! ’ They cant believe their eyes, As we, still trying to focus, shrink back from wondrous cries.

The tinsel trails and plastic rails adorn the festive sight, Of shredded paper mou
