A Jolly Folly Christmas

Cranberry garlands the Christmas tree
Piña empanadas and gifts of filigree 
Children’s faces aglow
Kissing ‘neath the mistletoe 
Midnight mass tradition with family

                             Flights have been cancelled call the hotels!                                        
                        Humbug to last minute changes and jingle bells                    
Lil black dress doesn’t fit
BYO Test My Drink Kit
It’s pub night with my standby drinking pals

Merry Christmas
Joyeux Noël
Feliz Navidad
Happy Hanukkah
Happy Kwanzaa!

Susan Ashley Date: 12/29/2024 8:27:00 AM Dearest Anaya, my soulful creative friend, I enjoyed both the light and dark sides of Christmas expressed in your set of limericks, capturing both the idealized romanticism and depressing not-so-sparkly realism of Christmastime, drawing a nostalgic and contemporary contrast. Indeed, you capture Christmas with vanilla sweetness and dark humor with poetic finesse. Warmest wishes to you, dearest Anaya, for a happy, healthy new year filled with lots of laughter, love and poetic inspiration.. Cheers! ~Susan Login to Reply I Am Anaya Date: 12/30/2024 10:14:00 AM Hello Susan, glad you enjoyed the not so traditional limericks, all in fun of course. Not-so-sparky has made me smile, well said. Ty. Soon midnight shall be ushering in 2025. Happy New Year! Cheers, Susan!

Duke Beaufort Date: 12/27/2024 10:21:00 AM Hi Anaya, a very interesting combination of limericks that compares the pluses and minuses of this holiday and life in general. There's a lot of wisdom here! I find the "Test My Drink Kit" reference amusing/disturbing and would hope we'd always be among people we could trust. But alas, we're not, so please be very careful. Sounds like you are and that's a good thing! Have a great and safe new year that combines the best of both worlds!!!

Although all in fun, not your traditional limericks and date rape is a serious issue. Glad you enjoyed the contrast. Ty. Soon midnight shall be ushering the new year, Happy New Year!
