It's Christmas In the Northwest

The malls are decorated And happy voices sing. It's Christmas in the Northwest, Let all the churchbells ring. We haul out our umbrellas And put our slickers on. We dash between the showers To get our shopping done. There are Santas on each corner As perfect gifts we chase. We sacrifice our coifed hairdos, A smile on every face. It's Christmas in the Northwest From mountain top to vale. The raindrops won't deter us From one more Christmas sale. won 4th place

Great write, Joyce! I'm from the Northwest, too....and rarely have spare hand for an umbrella. I just know there will be days when it will be a waste of time to style my hair! Hugs, Donna

How nice of you to share the joyous seasonal events from the Northwest, Joyce. Indeed, for late shoppers, neither rain nor snow will stop the stampede for the last "Christmas sale." Thank you for supporting my contest. Love, Carolyn

Joyce, It will not be long now, A great time of year when families get together but can also be hard for those who have lost loved ones who are not there to share with. God Bless. Leon
