Christmas Carolyn Holiday Tag To Barbara Gorelick

No snow to be seen in Ormond Beach Christmas scenes seem out of reach So I’m packing my sleigh and heading North Let falling flakes replace unrelenting warmth But I won’t need Rudolph to guide me this year I’ve prepared my own style of holiday cheer A lighted wreath decorates my fender Passing joy to children from this sender And I’m leaving a note on my chimneyless roof That has never felt the pound of a deer hoof “Please, Santa, deliver my gifts to New Jersey. You should have time, if you hurry! “Don’t let this Christmas Carolyn down Just because she’s headed for Middletown!” This tag was received from our Highlander, James Fraser, and I now pass it to Barbara Gorelick. Merry Christmas to all!

Dear Carolyn, Christmas is here again, but for the 3rd year running there is an empty chair round the Soup table where once you used to sit. I am sure that you will be with us in spirit from your heavenly abode where one day we will meet again. Hugs & Love my dear friend. // paul

Have to come way back to find something and I found this cutie little poem of yours I had never seen before. Great tag! OH, and my sonnet brief Sweet breath was all fiction. But I am sure it happens to lots of women!

As a former New Jersey native, I am biased enough to give this a high mark. Well done, my dear. Merry Christmas to you! Gerard.

Very well written couplet, Carolyn! Fun to read too. Thanks for sharing and you are the one who does me honor with your review, coming from who has much experience in the field. If I remember correctly, in one of your poem, you let us know you had found your soulmate and encouraged us to be patient. I shall write another lantern perhaps, "Two Doves". :) Have a great Sunday! Love and blessings, Caroline.

Hi, Carolyn...charming poem. Yes, I've often wondered how the hot clmate people get into the Christmas mood. Strangely, we got the first winter snow Friday, here in Saginaw, MI. We had zip snow during November...some kind of record for this area. BIG LOVE, daver
