Christmas In July

Sun's sparks settling seaward, sultry-slow Sleek silver stallions shaping the snow Hooves hurling healthy helpings of Holiday Cheer 'Tis Christmas in July, sing Kris Kringle's reindeer

No reason Christmas can't come twice a year, esp. to relieve us of hot spells. Thanks, Rhonda! :) gw

When you're retired it's Christmas every day lol P. S. Did you retire in the end or did you carry on?

P.S. I've been retired for a bit over a year now. My flesh was carrion, so I couldn't carry on...

I thought "what is he doing?" So I looked at the type and then I knew. An interesting little creative piece, my friend.

Thanks... Thought I could do my part to bring a little cool weather to the Chicago area. Didn't work. High of 92 today, tomorrow, Saturday, and so on... Blessings, Gershon
