Alternating sleet and snow Bounced droplets against windows Children pressing noses on glass December 24th, Christmas Eve at last Excitement palpable all around Flakes gently accumulating over ground Gusts of wind creating snowdrifts fast Holiday memories of Christmas's past I am home for holidays this year Jingle Bells sung loudly to all I hold dear Kids again ask “Is it almost time?” Leaving cookies and letter for Santa Milk put on fireplace mantle Naughty or nice all children in bed On alert for Santa's reindeer and sled Peace on earth whispers to God’s ear Quiet prayers for those we hold dear Rejoicing heard all over the world Songs celebrating the birth of our Lord True spirit of Christmas in many places Universally in smiles on children’s faces Volunteers and helpers know meaning Wishing all Merry Christmas or singing Xylophones for ladies and gents Year-round giving with common sense Zealous patrons of generousness Written 12-25-2015 Abecedarian Rhyme Christmas Abecedarian Contest sponsored by Shadow Hamilton 2nd Place

You did a great job here, Susan. I suggest you coome up with a true X word (search Google) because Shadow is strict about people using a good X word!! (well maybe you did some kind of word with the X but not sure how it will be taken!!)

Susan Gentry
Date: 12/29/2015 6:27:00 PM

Ahh Good to know! Yes it was a Greek X word for Christmas but it didn't copy over. I'll see if I can type it in to stay maybe. Thanks!
