Christmastime Dreams POTD

             Holiday Acrostic

Holiday joy, may it always remain to be yours!

Old-fashioned, fun-loving, cuddly, sleigh-ride tours.

Lots of hot apple cider, in mugs filled with happiness to drink!

It's the most holy birthday of The Christ Child!

Do attend Church, do be meek and mild.

Anticipate, family and dearest friends, at your door.

Yuletide greetings, be yours~Christmas is just around the bend!

A very nice holiday POTD Pangie! Reading poems in this vein helps keep us in the Christmas spirit, so thanks. (And not just the spirit of hard cider, lol!)

David, I told Tom. I never had hard cider. But for shre has hard liquor. It’s very funny you know David.. you will find right here about other people drinking, but they don’t. Every time I see that I know they’re lying.. They like to make fun of by the way I don’t know if you notice that. Like they never were? A lot about how devoted they worship their wives? Saintly people scare me. It is like they bought plastic wings to them under their backs! LOL .,PANGIE Going to watch the Army Navy game.

Hilda, Sorry for alate respone, i was writing you a response last night, and fell asleep with my om my tummy! That was a first. Thank you for calling this a “ holiday classi:” I sakute and thank you for that auspicious comment, I see you understand what Christmas is indeed about. Christ has all but been erased from this holiday. I recall working at Macys one Christmas,,and that year, stores fornid saying that greeting anymore as Christ in Christmas was fornidden and the world today? One of genocide, and chock full of sin! So Christ no longer matters. Humans no longer respect each other.Just their own egos. To God be the Glory. Pangie Friday, 11:15 AM PST

Seaons Greetings, Benjamin! It is aways nice to meet a new friend here… we all so need joy in our lives. Especially at Christmas people get lonely and off the mark. So if you see someone the same sad just say hello.. do something nice for someone. we tend to think of older days. I don’t know how you are. I am old is the hills but anyway. We only have today to live for and I say go for it, smiles dont cist a thing. We are the ones who have to create joy don’t expect it to come to you. So, I send you joy! Pangie

Yes, Robert, this was so unexpected and a great surprise! And so I look on the POTD as a gift from God. I don’t know about in my I do have kind of head., and sometimes it’s hard for me to acknowledge myself, that is where our fellow come in.. I don’t have a fat head or think I’m hot stuff. I hope I remain humble and no, I have a long way to go.! Wishing you and yours a great Christmas. Hope you have some snow. There is none here just earthquakes. Thank you for being part of my life..
