Notes About The Poem

December Magic

multi-colored lights

are back inside their boxes...

magic of Christmas

wrapped snuggly in white tissue

is ready for a long sleep

Dear Carrie, I love the way you descried the "hibernation" of Christmas lights. I just took mine down yesterday. Thank you so much for the beautiful card an picture! You and your husband make a great looking couple. I'm sending you wishes for the best new year ever! Love, Carolyn (A 7 always from me, hon)

Hi Carrie, what a nice visual for most of us who will be doing this shortly if not already. Your words capture the feeling as the "magic" is safely wrapped in tissue for a long sleep. GL in the contest! Hugs, Sandra
