Christmas Imagery Acrostic

A Young Poetess and Her Christmas A~ Ah, the angelic aromas! B~ We, thinking of the Babe, born today. C~ That scent of candlelit, candy canes. D~ Those dashing, December decorations. E~ Our first taste of excellent eggnog. F~ My family and the warm fireplace flickered with joy. G~Goodwill and glorious gifts. H~The happiness of this holiday! I~ Those illuminated icicles on windows dangled. K~ Being with all my kith and kin. H~A Happy Holiday to forever recall. L~ Such love and uproarious laughter! M~ Yes, mirth and mistletoe! N~ Songs of Noel and the New Born Son!  O~ EVen the oldest, ogled at our optimism! P~ Of poinsettia and pine, who can forget? Q~ Mary,quiet, quinticessental ,queen of this day R~ Our rejoicing was religious, on that you can bet! S~ Though the night was silent, the children remained sleepless. T~ Togetherness and traditions reigned triumphant. U~ So understanding and upbeat were we! V~ Thoughts of the Venerable Virgin and her new baby! W~The wise, wondrous Three Kings with gifts for the King. X~ In that winter xerophilous climate, where water is rare.  Y~ All our great Yuletide yearnings came true! Z~ We all were zippy and zesty as can be, and did not want to turn the lights off, on the magnificent tree.          12-20-2020 ~Memoirs of Elmwood Park, IL~

WOW a trip through festive memories and celebration! I am sad people do not have Christmss lights up as usual on my street this year. Only me. We are in a nightmare of corruption, deceit and dread. We must fight for our freedom to save our country. Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem! Merry Christmas :)

Heidi! Golly...sorry to hear about the lights. A church in my city had a drive thru manger scene. Not this tear but can go to sex or strip clubs. I appreciate the few responses. You all touched me. There are many like us.you go, get your lights us. Inspire your. Neighbors. You be the light while others tread in darkness.leac Lead~ do not follow. Pangie, Merry Christmas

Happy Christmas memories of long ago, it's a shame that we wont see those kind ever again. Mankind has taken a wrong turn, greed, corruption and power is the norm now. Brilliant acrostic, it must have taken you ages. Tom
