Personification Poem
By Mikayla
I am a stocking.
I live in a house hanging above a fireplace.
My favorite colors are red, white, and green.
I wear ribbon and my name is across the top.
My job is to hold presents.
My family and friends are other stockings, a tree,
and the decorations.
I go on vacation to the basement.
My favorite holiday is Christmas because I get to
see Santa.
I move when Santa puts the presents in me.

Can’t we just be friends?
