Tapping Pockets and Wrapping Gifts: A Homeschool Holiday Tradition

It’s that time of year again—time to wrap gifts, share a few laughs, and yes, tap a few pockets . As we all know, the holidays can be a bit of a whirlwind, and for us homeschooling families, it’s no different. We balance schoolwork, crafts, and of course, holiday preparations. But, no matter how busy we get, there’s always room for a little humor and a lot of holiday cheer.

So, this year, as we’re all busy wrapping presents and trying not to get tangled in ribbons, I couldn’t resist sharing a little poem I came up with, just for fun. It perfectly captures the spirit of the season—and maybe a little wink at how those pockets can sometimes feel a little lighter than expected!


Christmas Cheer

You can spread your Christmas cheer
Ribbon tied and neatly wrapped
Under my tree this year,
And leave your lovely pocket tapped….

Now, I don’t mean to alarm anyone, but if you find your pocket a little lighter, just know—it’s all part of the holiday magic. 😉

We’ve all had those moments where the holiday cheer feels a little too… well, cheerful, but let’s not forget the true gift of the season: the memories we create with family. Whether it’s sharing laughs while wrapping gifts or sneaking a peek under the tree to see what’s in store, these are the moments that make the season special.

So here’s to our homeschool crew, tapping pockets, wrapping gifts, and keeping the holiday humor alive. Let’s spread that Christmas cheer—and maybe a little bit of wit—along the way!

Happy Holidays, everyone! May your pockets be full of joy, and your hearts even fuller.
