AIBU to ask you each for a haiku?

[Clare1971]

Years ago my sister embroidered an advent calendar for us and each year I wrap and hang chocolates on it. As a joke, I suggested this year that instead of chocolates I could write and hang a haiku on each day. (Haiku - 3 line poem with 5, 7 and 5 syllables in each line). My DC's think it's a great idea so now I've got to write 24 bloody haikus. Turns out I am crap at it. EG: Christmas is coming, The goose is getting fat but, not as fat as me.
Anyone like to help me out?

YABVU!

(Sorry- no good at haikus: or is haiku also the plural?!)

For near the end:

Haiku's are hard work
Especially when you have to
Dream up 24

ODFOD
Write your own Christmas haiku
YABVU

Argh ignore the rogue apostrophe

Frosty the Snowman
Sat splendid in my garden
Till the sun came out.

Mince pies and brandy
Are what Santa enjoys best.
No milk for him here!

When celebrating
Excess should not be consumed
For fear of vomit

No, I'm no good at haiku, either.

Not long to go now
Christmas is a time of joy
Except, for turkeys

Mmmm, Advent chocolate
So delicious and creamy
None for you this year!

Haikus are a pain
Iambic pentameter
Is even harder.

The last day of term
Teachers are all excited
Lucky ones get wine

The time I spent

On this haiku, was a gift

To wit, me to you

Mummy is busy
And cannot write twenty-four
Haikus for Advent

Thank you mumsnetters
Please keep being creative
while I go drink wine.

Kids are excited
It's that time of year again
Unwrapping presents

Christmas is coming
Movies by a cosy fire
Chocolates to share

Snowflakes are falling
Tucked up all cosy inside
Cuddled together

Drinking too much wine
Sleeping in the afternoon
Can't wait for Christmas

Long walks in winter
Snowflakes falling on our cheeks
Home for warm cocoa

Carol services
Voices uniting as one
Jingle all the way

Though those are all a bit boring and mushy! How about...

Who ate all the sprouts?
Scoffing til we're really stuffed
Christmas flatulance

All snuggled up warm
Stuffing our faces with treats
Together we trump

A good idea
But it turns out I am crap
Chocolates next year

Tapir I've only just got yours!

Are you hoping for
A sleigh and reindeer fly by?
Look up to the stars!

Snow will fall sometime
But don't seek it at Christmas:
More likely New Year.

There may be presents
There may be goodwill on earth
But there WILL be gin!

Christmas time is here
Everyone wraps presents up
Then we open them

Haikus confuse me
More often they make no sense
Refrigerator

Santa's fleshy bum
Was too big for the chimney.
The children cursed him.

Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho
Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho
Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho

(In the style of Baldrick's War poem)

Will you go to sleep
Cos Santa will not come for
Wide awake children
