Last year's Christmas poem (as well as other poems, articles, and stories) can also be found there).

This is Nate, the Christmas ankylosaurus, sitting in a Christmas tree at Bedworth Civic Hall

I wanted to write a Christmas poem
Full of inspiration
But this year, I have failed to finish many things
And I'm having difficulty keeping attention

In 2025, I've achieved mostly burnout
I feel that 2026 will have a similar turnout

Give your kids a pizza
If that's what you want for Christmas Dinner
Hibernate, avoid people, don't feel any guilt
I'll be spending Christmas Day huddled in my quilt.
