not under a tree but on a tree, he was hung the world's greatest gift Eileen Ghali The Idea for this senryu came from the Picture that I've attached, so...I can't take credit. I just thought I'd put it into senryu form. I'm working on the Powerpoint for the Christmas program I'm in charge of tomorrow and this image really got to me.....The red of Christmas must remind us of the blood He spilled to make us whole. Blessings....
