My Sixth Christmas

Hoping to See Santa covered in soot eating his cookies, I dashed barefoot to the living room and found—not him, but he left me a lot: doll, stroller, candy, fruit, books, jump rope, toy flute, and socks. Christmas rocked when I was just six! This would be classified as an etheree if not for the rhyming. Date: November 25, 2017 Contest Title: Childhood Christmas Memories Sponsor: Bic Gi-Sa

I enjoyed your Christmas past that could have been my own. It is sweet, sweet, sweet and finely delivered. I haven't a clue what to write for this contest, my parents blessed us with wonderful Christmas' memories - where to start? A joy to read ... CayCay

Thank you so much, CayCay! You wouldn't believe how long it took me to get the syllables right. Forms like this are a REAL challenge for me! Janice
