Colorful tassels swirl around the pine Hovering brightly on dazzle of lights, Richer the kindred prayers, so divine Inviting Babe Jesus to join our rites. Songs peal with laughter and new wishes blow, To remind each other that gratitude Means special for the hearth's love,all aglow; As ornamental candles drift, so hued! Starry-eyed, a lacy table is dressed More cheerful the beams; it's Gram's festive treat; Awakening kids’ last surprise, how blessed Gift- giving is, through a Yuletide complete. In the magic of this radiant eve, Comes hope's spirit true, in which we believe!

Simply beautiful! Cleverly done with superb 10 syllable phrasing and rhyme. I especially love the two lines beginning '...awakening kids' last surprise...' BRAVO nette! Best wishes, Keith

Nothing trite or ordinary or expected in your acrostic sonnet. I've only read a few, but realize how difficult this is - I bet you enjoyed the challenge and you certainly excelled ... CayCay
