December Diaries

DECEMBER DIARIES 

When snowmen are built and Christmas trees glow,
When a colourful world becomes pure white,
I was born this month not so long ago,

When every tree branch is laden with snow,
It's the month of giving and spreading light,
When snowmen are built and Christmas trees glow,

Carols are ringing mid the mistletoe,
The nights are darker but the stars shine bright,
I was born this month not so long ago,

Sweets and cookies and soft cakes overflow,
The cool choir goes singing throughout the night,
When snowmen are built and Christmas trees glow,

The angels look down and blessings bestow,
Children in red and white are such a sight,
I was born this month not so long ago,

Gifts are placed around fireplaces aglow,
Ice crystals float down and skating is right,
When snowmen are built and Christmas trees glow,
I was born this month not so long ago.

Michelle Faulkner June 23, 2020 at 9:09 PM You describe a magical snowglobe of Christmas trees and fireplaces, really like the line 'carols are ringing midst the mistletoe' - a wonderful contest entry, Jo!

Vijay Pandit June 23, 2020 at 9:24 AM Exquisite imagery of the festive season, Jo..delightfully done.

Tom Cunningham June 23, 2020 at 8:37 AM Unbelievable lol, I thought after most of the good months had gone no one will pick December, and here it is. I do love it though, with the snow and Christmas. Well written Jo, I didn't find it an easy form to write. Good luck in the contest Tom
