Holiday greetings Holiday love Love thy neighbour Love the season Season for sharing Season for laughter Laughter and blessings Laughter and joy Joy in gatherings Joy in our hearts Hearts filled with compassion Hearts desiring true peace Peace on earth Peace for everyone Everyone singing carols Everyone having fun Fun with family and friends Fun playing in the snow Snow ball fights Snow of purest white White shiny ornaments White snow angels Angels from Heaven Angels with guardian wings Wings of turtle doves Wings alight on trees Trees of spruce, evergreen Trees with colourful gifts Gifts wrapped with ribbons Gifts for hopeful children Children writing lists Children listening for Santa Santa laughing, "Ho-Ho-Ho" Santa driving his sleigh Sleigh with eight reindeer Sleigh jingling with bells Bells in church steeples Bells ringing in cheer Cheer for good health Cheer for Yuletide Yuletide is magical Yuletide feast at dinner Dinner laden tables Dinner with family together Together at Christmas Together in celebration Celebration of Jesus Celebration of Lord Lord … Jesus ...

Jan, you are such an exceptional talent and was only awarded a 6th place win in an extremely tough contest. If it's any consolation to you, your poem rates a first place with me. I hope Roy enjoys his hat!! lol

Congratulations on your well deserved win with this exceptional poem Jan, I really thought this would be in top spot, still it’s a winner so do I still have to eat my hat?

I was secretly hoping for a top 3 place as i intended to have the prize money donated to a souper who would benefit from it far more than me - still one cash contest to go so i may be luckier with that one.:-) hugs Jan You can eat your hat but only if its made of rice paper:-) hugs Jan xx

That was brilliant Jan ,You captured Christmas brilliantly. I read and listened, you've certainly lost your brummie accent lol. Regards Tom.

ha ha ha Tom I was only born in Birmingham in the same hospital as my sister so technically I am a 'brummie' but my parents were living in Derby when I was born so i don't have a particular accent for anywhere:-) hugs jan xx

Jan I think you have composed an amazing poem which certainly shows how talented you are, if this is not in first place I will eat my hat, I have entered my attempt ( no competition) great job.

WoW! Jan, I really enjoyed your " Christmas Blitz". It was filled with the holiday spirit. And hearing you recite it caused your well written piece to come alive. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis

this is amazing sweet Jan, I have been having trouble with this form for some reason and don't know why, you write with such ease :) Lovely poem and I love the end. Be blessed sweet Jan! :) luloo

Jan Allison
Date: 12/12/2017 7:32:00 AM

Gee LuLoo it wasn't written with ease it is a very difficult challenge and believe me it is my first and last attempt at this form and it had many re writes, also because it is so long I guess few people bother to read it - I know myself i find very long poems a turn off:-( Hugs Jan xx

It's a real challenge Kevin, probably my first and last. i find if poems are to long people don't read them and 50 lines is a lot!:-) hugs jan xx
