Such memories of childhood, which remain
In those sweet days when you used to believe
Snow softly fell, upon your windowpane
Tired, and excited on this Christmas Eve
Fickle hearts desire, simple dreams fulfilled
A promise tonight, brought by Santa Claus
Snow, now lays deep even sleigh bells are stilled
And upon the morrow, love shall be yours
 
Gently sleep little girl, sleep little boy
Trust in all those things that you have been told
In your own playful world, cherish each toy
Until, you grow up, cynical and old
 
For no matter what may be your belief?
Tooth fairies, and God, will steal all your teeth

Father Christmas still comes,Steve,to fulfill the dreams of young and old. That's a tardis sleigh he has,full of unfulfilled dreams. The world needs him now more than ever.

Your beautiful sonnet, seem an easy task, and yet I cannot bring myself to write in that fashion or rhyme...lovely verse...and thank you for the smile...
 
Seriously, I believe that Christmas is for children and adults alike. To make things happen ... to bring out the spirit that youth holds...

Ok, Ebeneezer, so you read my piece in the challenge then,
 
Seriously, nice sonnet, Steve, with more than a word of truth on it,
more chocolate is consumed in the week between Christmas and New year by many individuals
than the eat in the other 51 weeks all added together, Zy

 Hi Steve ... how you doing? As cynical as ever I see but a cleverly consructed work which bit back on the final couplet.... from ... ken
