                                                   Starts
                                                    early
                                             with Christmas
                                               in November
                                          embers become cold
                                              the holly bush
                                                magic gone
                                                 confused
                                                    stop

Eve Roper November 9, 2023 at 6:06 PM Oh, my. The stories start putting out everything for Christmas a few months ago. I do try to start Christmas shopping early, but end up giving it to them before Christmas. Reads like a winner. Enjoyed reading my friend. Many blessings your way my friend.
