The Holidays

THE HOLIDAYS The Holidays of yesteryears Hitting me once more to reminisce and Enveloping me with feelings of nostalgia Holidays from December sixteen and Over on January seven, the day after Three Kings Launched with daily mass at dawn for nine days, I was always looking forward for the many kinds of Desserts served to the church goers after the mass. And then the Christmas Eve mass and dinner, when Young and old gathered until Christmas day and So we continued on with holiday visits until Three Kings Any New Acrostic About Nostalgia Poetry Line Gauthier 12/17/20

Congratulations and kudos on your win Marilene. I love the Christmas SEASON from Advent to Epiphany. We have a set of three Magi in jewel tones that travel from our front door Christmas Day around the house for twelve days ending up at the creche on twelfth night. Happy New Year to you! Epiphany blessings.

Thanks so much, Sam. It's an uplift for me. I have not really written anything. My family circle is hit with Covid positive, at least 20 of them since XMas eve and one of them, my brother is intubated in ICU. I hope he can make it.
