Autism Answer: A Christmas in Time


Our stockings were hung on the couch with care;
Knowing that Santa soon would be there~

Santa threw on a sweater and grabbed treats from the car;
Then danced softly through the house noticing how few of us there are~

It's not because of clashing or disappearing or anger;
But for the beautiful reasons of growing bigger and wider~

Like Santa's jolly belly our family has grown;
To all kinds of new places, with their dreams they have flown~

Santa thought of this truth while stuffing snacks down to the toes;
And smiled and laughed at what those stockings truly showed~

They were different, not all matching, yet happily hanging;
Together, on one couch, while awaiting their fillings~

Filled differently, too, with a few sameness' inside;
Santa encouraged that diversity with silliness and style~

Two stockings were filled with the purpose of later;
When they would be mailed to the boys who are older~

Traditions shift and grow and become new things too;
But having a Merry Christmas is always possible to do~

Our stockings were hung on the couch with care;
Knowing that Santa would always be there!

Merry Christmas!!!!
Hugs, smiles, and love!!!!
