"December 1: White envelopes float / from my overfilled mailbox? / December's first storm." You know that Santa can fly a sleigh, squeeze down chimneys, and circle the globe in a night. But did you know that another of his talents is writing haiku? These twenty-five short poems?composed by Santa himself?give you a peek into life at the North Pole as the December days tick down to Christmas. See the hustle and bustle of the elves' workshop, feel the serenity of moonlight on fresh snow, and find out how Santa and Mrs. Claus keep busy as Santa's big night draws near.

I love this book!! Funny story the only reason I found it is because I spelled Santa Claus wrong in my bullet journal and was like well shoot let‘s see if there‘s a book with Santa Clause 😂 The illustrations are gorgeous. And there are so many cute haikus in here. It‘s on Kindle Unlimited. Check it out! #WinterGames #TeamGameSleighers #DashingDecember #Adventathon #WrapItUpReadathon #BookSpinBingo 45 words for #WGWordSearch

These are supposed to be haikus which has me questioning how many syllables are actually in the word whistling. What say y‘all? 2 or 3 syllables? 🧐 #WinterGames #TeamGameSleighers #PoetryMatters

BeeMagical 😂I'm going with “WHIS-A-LING“?! 😂 2y
RaeLovesToRead I vote 2 😄 2y
IndoorDame I think I pronounce it as 2 when I‘m just talking, but if I was writing a haiku I‘d definitely count it at 3 2y

MatchlessMarie @beemagical @RaeLovesToRead @IndoorDame I made a poll for science. Very intriguing! 3 seems to be the consensus so far. https://twitter.com/matchlessmarie/status/1471200730887471106?s=21 2y
IndoorDame @MatchlessMarie I love that you made a poll! I teach my students to count syllables, and for those first lessons I actually have to pick sample words to practice on beforehand so we don‘t end up with something ambiguous like whistling that might confuse them as they‘re learning a new concept. 2y
RaeLovesToRead @MatchlessMarie It won't let me vote because I don't have twitter, hehe 😅 2y
BeeMagical @RaeLovesToRead @MatchlessMarie I don‘t have twitter either!! But I vote 3😂 2y

Such a cute book! This book contains 25 haikus written by Santa showing what he does in the days leading up to Christmas. In the start of the book, there is a suggestion to read each haiku on its date like a little haiku Advent calendar. #Christmas #Holiday #PictureBook #Haiku

Each of these books is wonderful. 💙

The tagged book is a thoughtful look at Santa‘s life via haiku.

Eight Winter Nights takes you through the days of Hanukkah with wonderful poems. Perfect for kids celebrating and anyone who wants to learn more about the holiday.

Silent Night is the song, with gorgeous illustrations.

I‘d definitely recommend them all!!!

With a haiku for every night of the North Pole‘s December preparations, this would make a delightful Advent gift for December 1.
Who can read just one haiku? Not I. I‘ve already finished this this morning.
