Don Christmas socks and ugly sweaters, All. ‘Tis not the season for your being shy. Come jingling to the Worldwide Christmas Ball. Let not your woes cast over you a pall. Be like the brightest star that lights night’s sky. Don Christmas socks and ugly sweaters, All. From sunny Sydney to cold Montreal; I call to every single soul I spy: Come jingling to the Worldwide Christmas Ball. This party goes beyond your urban sprawl. It’s time to laugh. That is the reason why! Don Christmas socks and ugly sweaters, All! Pretend the world’s a dance floor wall to wall. On peace and harmony we’re getting high. Come jingling to the Worldwide Christmas Ball. So decorate yourself, not just the hall! Come on, fine lads and lassies; just say AYE! Don Christmas socks and ugly sweaters, ALL. Come jingling to the Worldwide Christmas Ball. Dec. 16, 2020 for Joseph May's 'Deck The Halls' Poetry Contest For those who don't know: Ugly sweaters is the term to refer to decorated Christmas sweaters. I kind of enjoy them!!

Wonderful Christmas poem, Andrea. I love the line "On peace and harmony we’re getting high" and your master of iambic pentameter and the villanelle form are on full display. Just one question: who is this Don Christmas?

Haha :-D I enjoyed reading your Villanelly Andrea, and yes, I love Christmas socks and ugly sweaters! Heck, I'd even put on one of those big bright red, curly clown wigs ;-) Well done! :-)
