Just a lot of fun! Unique in presentation! Lackadaisical and quintessentially are stand outs! I’m allergic to cats but I do enjoy being around them otherwise. Congratulations, Andrea!

Wonderfully effortless, Andrea! An entertainingly engaging piece that I'm Fave'ing to share with my family. It'll confuse the babies knowing Halloween had passed, but I'll have my kids read to them about The Grinch! My compliments on your placement in my contest, Aloha!

Cool one, Andrea, if not for the format, one would never have guessed it's abecedarian, so beautifully flows:)

I liked your poem, Andrea. It would have been churlish not to give you the nod. Mind you… I don’t know if I’ll get away with ‘Xmas’. :-) Terry
