In this, Shirley’s forth volume of poetry, she has collected her annual Christmas poems from the last few decades, a tradition her card recipients have come to expect and be delighted with. Now Shirley has made this private collection available to the world at large for the first time. Her poems canvas a wide spectrum of topics, though all are Christmas themed. Inside you’ll find Santa and his cell phone, the sadness of Christmas without a loved on, the very Australian experience of unrelenting heat at Christmas as well as more traditional topics from food to Christianity.
