And, each day, the book we\u2019re talking about will be <strong>FREE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I&#8217;m talking about my collection of <em>Christmas Poems<\/em>, which is an unapologetic dose of Christmas cheer :). I would say it&#8217;s out of season, but my sales stats tell me that folks download this book at all times of year (someone even downloaded it last July)!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not a brilliant poet, so please don&#8217;t expect Wordsworth, but then that&#8217;s not the idea behind these poems. I wrote each one of them over successive years a few days before Christmas, and they are echoes of the goodwill that brings us together at that time of year. Some of the poems are funny, some are religious, some are a mixture of the two, so I think there is a little something for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>I wrote these poems to be performed too, so there is an aspect of drama and theatre about them.<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;m not going to apologise for being a bit sappy. I loved writing these poems, and I hope you&#8217;ll like them too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When do you think it&#8217;s okay to be a bit mooshy? ;P<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>FREE Book Offer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wittegenpress.com\/wp_main\/books\/christmas-poems\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"210\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wittegenpress.com\/wp_main\/atozchallenge-2015-u-is-for-unapologetic.html\/christmaspoems331x480\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wittegenpress.com\/wp_main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ChristmasPoems331x480.png?fit=331%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"331,480\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Christmas Poems 331&amp;#215;480\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wittegenpress.com\/wp_main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ChristmasPoems331x480.png?fit=206%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wittegenpress.com\/wp_main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ChristmasPoems331x480.png?fit=331%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-210\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wittegenpress.com\/wp_main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ChristmasPoems331x480.png?resize=206%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Christmas Poems by Sophie Duncan\" width=\"206\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wittegenpress.com\/wp_main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ChristmasPoems331x480.png?resize=206%2C300&amp;ssl=1 206w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wittegenpress.com\/wp_main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ChristmasPoems331x480.png?resize=275%2C400&amp;ssl=1 275w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wittegenpress.com\/wp_main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ChristmasPoems331x480.png?w=331&amp;ssl=1 331w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px\" \/><\/a><a title=\"Christmas Poems by Sophie Duncan\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wittegenpress.com\/christmaspoems\" target=\"_blank\">Christmas Poems<\/a> by Sophie Duncan<\/p>\n<p>Code for FREE download at <strong><a title=\"Christmas Poems by Sophie Duncan at Smashwords\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/111280\" target=\"_blank\">Smashwords<\/a>*<\/strong>: <strong>\u00a0NX93A<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Meet the battered old Christmas Fairy, or listen to a child&#8217;s prayer on Christmas Eve; sympathise with a harried shopper, or think a while on the meaning of Christmas.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The 6 poems in this book were written to be read aloud as the last lesson at a Christmas Day service in a little, English church.
