Crispin’s Christmas Dinner

37 Comments

Hi, I’m Crispin.

Time for my Christmas dinner. I know that little seed in front of me doesn’t look like much, but there are more in the jar.

I’m just saying grace before I eat this special meal. See how I put my hands together to say grace? I don’t care for turkey so I’ll stick to sunflower seeds for this Christmas. All you turkeys out there, you can thank me later.

 

I put my hands together

And say a little prayer

Of thanks that in this weather ,

My dinner’s always there.

 

I know that I could look for,

And find my food alone,

But no one needs to cook for

This lad; I’m on my own.

 

My dinner is a yummy seed,

I’ve many in the jar,

My hostess knows just what I need,

She’s never very far.

 

So merry Christmas holiday,

Be thankful for your lot,

Appreciate your meal today,

Be glad for what you’ve got.

 

 

Here I am eating my Christmas dinner. Seasons greetings to you all.

 

Anneli sends her apologies for the last few seconds of blur when she tried to zoom in and messed things up.

But in the Christmas spirit, I forgave her because, in the first part of the video, I think I look pretty cute.

    Merry Christmas Crispin. Being thankful for what we have, not bemoaning what we do not, is the way to go. I think Anneli has your best interests at heart and you are one lucky little guy. Merry Christmas to all. Allan

    Crispin, you are showing all of us that it is the little things which bring the most joy and how grateful we can be to have a meal when so many don’t. A beautiful Christmas poem, Anneli. ❤

    We can learn a thing or two from Crispin. Life need not be complicated. Being thankful for simple things like food on the table (or elsewhere) can brighten up any Christmas. Many thanks for sharing!

    Anneli, the videos capture the endless energy of Crispin. His brilliant white breast helps him to stand out, especially compared to squirrels in Ohio. As always, your poetry offers a delightful story.
