First Snowflakes

bundled in warm clothes tuque down to my nose pretty fluffy red mittens layers at my neck soft as kittens let the winds howl and the snow fall christmas less than a month away keeping naughty thoughts at bay counting down the days with glee putting up the christmas tree hanging stockings with our names dreams of fancy toys and games made a list for santa claus hoping for a gift decked with four paws mugs of cocoa with some marshmallows wrapping presents with big bows licking spoons with cookie dough singing christmas carols on the radio jitterbugs and odds and ends inviting over family and friends Published in my 24-page photo/anthology book ~THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS~ 2023 AP: 2nd place 2021, 3rd place 2021 Posted on December 14, 2018

This is terrific, Line. I've never celebrated Christmas, but this poem has given me a window through which to view it and to understand its immense attraction. A FAVE for me. Thanks!! :)

You capture well many of the festive activities we engage in as Christmas approaches, Line. And I do hope you get that "gift with four paws." A delightful read. Hugs, Carolyn
