AIBU to ask you each for a haiku?

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?

Snow snow snow snow snow
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
Yes, I love winter!

Seasons greetings here
Lets all share a great big cheer
Peace to all mankind

Sleep now little one
In the night, Santa will come
With gifts for us all

Jesus born this day
Two thousand years gone by
Still we celebrate

I'm not very good either. Sorry.
I will help with the gin instead.

Did you mean to be so rude?

Brings joy fun and smiles:
To give love is free.

Christmas Cock Robin
Tweeted tidy your bedrooms
Or no fucking gifts.

Brioche201 · 30/11/2015 00:46

all alone now and pantone first lines only have 4 syllables. And somebody else miscounted the syllables I'm 'especially'

Andrewofgg · 30/11/2015 01:02

Christmas is such shit
Too much bloody good and drink
OK for a child.

Andrewofgg · 30/11/2015 01:12

Food and drink, damn it'

Allalonenow · 30/11/2015 15:15

It takes a master
To bend the rules for effect;
So bog off Brioche.

Wrap a Brussels sprout
Hide in ferrero rocher
Hand round after lunch

I'm grateful to Clare
For this Christmas haiku thread
It's really such fun!

OlafLovesAnna · 30/11/2015 15:52

Santa is jolly
He flies all around the globe
I adore his hat

Reindeer love lichen
They enjoy munching it up
It makes the poo green

RebeccaMumsnet · 30/11/2015 15:56

So much talent here
we cannot compete at all
good luck to you OP

SanityClause · 30/11/2015 15:57

Ready for Christmas?
Shopping and rushing around
Then stop! (For a day)
