Christmas Mittens by Marchette Chute
I wanted a rifle for Christmas,
I wanted a bat and a ball,
I wanted some skates and a bicycle,
But I didn’t want mittens at all.
I wanted a whistle
And I wanted a kite,
I wanted a pocketknife
That shut up tight.
I wanted some boots
And I wanted a kit,
But I didn’t want mittens one little bit.
I told them I didn’t like mittens,
I told them as plain as plain.
I told them I didn’t WANT mittens,
And they’ve given me mittens again!

And I WANT mittens! And, I know I’m getting them because I already picked them out while shopping at the Shaker Craft Fair with my sister in law. And she’s getting a small purse made of tapestry with adirondack chair motif, which she picked out. Merry Christmas Everyone!
What fun! Craft Fairs are the best!
Great sledding scene! Thanks for the poem and looking forward to seeing y’all next week.
I want the book this poem is in. does anyone know how i can find it?
I’ve had it on a scrap of paper for years! But I think you can find
it in “Christmas Poems” by David Stanford Burr.
Thanks for joining us!
