W-ow-wa!

Guardian indeed. You really should take up the harp - Lord knows you play heart strings beautifully.

I like it immensely. A lot of people can relate to this. Yup, I'm one of 'em. Nicely done!

Well done and YEYYYYYY Congrats, Marie. Ditto what T-man said on the well wishes!

I have sooo missed this!

P.S. Kace, have a very merry wonderful Holiday!

Thank you, Kate. The beauty of remaining a "toysRus kid". I was given a challenge to write with at least 10 of 20 Christmas words from a word bank. Oh and no cliche' (I don't think I stayed away from cliche' but I managed to use 17 of the 20 in an unexpected way, but it still had the Christmas-y theme. I'm still going to revamp this a couple more times, just not sure how, lol. I kind of like the fact that the gingerbread tree blocks the rhythm of the poem as much as it does the sleigh, muahhhhaahaaa!

Not till I get paid, I'm not, ohhhhh The Laughter kind,


WonderWizzzz!!!!Gosh it's good to see ya.

Hello and Merry Christmas, you!

I feel ya - Phoenix, Arizona is not in the snow zone either, but it has been unusually cold, so my sand snake may get a bit of a shocker - it won't last long, but whoa it'd definitely be different, lol! Nice sleigh btw! Oh and Happy Holidays!

I made it steaming (cocoa, duh) just for you, Budd, lol. Merry Christmas hope all is going smoothly.

I'm a-feared to ask, unless of course n.s. stands for new side, perhaps? Then again, you know me well enough, the "n" could stand for nnnn-nice (in which case, I profusely appreciate your NOT spelling that out- Egad, my rep would be in shambles, man!) LMAO (maniacally of course)

Thank you and a very Merry Christmas to you and your's Ms.Em!

Wonderfully deserving
of a self that's unnerving
to others who may not have the sight.

A simple reflection
not lost in disconnection
of a lose wire who has no worry or fright.

Ohhhh, every day's a Holiday with D4!

My best Mary Poppins curtsy to you - well done!

Nope, haven't figured out quite how to make the kind to build with yet, plus I miss my mom's gingerbread men. Somethings, I think just belong in her kitchen. I think I'm gonna make a nativity out of bakable ornament dough and see how that rolls, lol....

Ovenmit covered paw ----------- Saaaa-lute!

Through a howling forest,
on a freezing winter night,
reindeer flounder in the snow.

Santa and his presents
are burrowed down deep
stuck in weather that’s 40 below.

Mistletoe whips by
barely missing their eyes,
as it’s driven by harsh screaming winds.

Oh woe unto them,
it’s nearly Christmas again
and they’re blocked by a downed gingerbread tree!

Icicles glare
with frozen faced stares.
No help will they offer this man.

Santa begins dreaming
of hot cocoa that’s steaming
imagining the warmth in his hands.

(Now, you know he has magic,
so this story’s not tragic,
at least, that’s what I was told.)

As the tree catches that warm cocoa scent,
it stands straight as a chimney
and dances a tree version lindy,

clearing a path
through this rough
wonderland.

Yes, this Holiday is saved!
The man, reindeer, and sleigh
now fly every year through the sky.

Many legends and stories
tell Santa’s tribulations and glories
and this is but one of those tales.

The gingerbread tree,
I most definitively can see,
sparks more than a smidgen of doubts --

Yet, I ask you,
where else would we find wood
for that gingerbread house?

I enjoyed this immensely and as for the conversation between you two, NOW there's a poem title, "Easy Bake Heart"........not to be confused with an Easy Bake Mind Marc wants a Shake-n-Bake mind (and I hellllllPED! lmao)
