Dasher and Dancer's Christmas Eve Call Offs
The reindeer were sleighing through the snow's glow, Their journey smooth, with Christmas magic in tow. But Cupid, Santa's reindeer, fell ill in the night's shade, The journey stopped, and Santa's heart was dismayed. Santa feared he'd miss Christmas, and children would fade, But then he thought of their joy, and his heart was displayed. He rallied his elves and reindeer,...

The Animals They Talk
Venus Casts a tiny shadow Upon the ghostly snow From its candle held by an extended hand Of a cloaked man Who trips through the stripped trees Follows the fresh trail of reindeer To our second-floor windowsills Then on to rooftops lined with owls Comet tails thrashing through the oval Stars The kids pretend to sleep To the faint smell of hay Their red stockings overflow with candy...

You’re a whisper of gentle, soft as light Playing on the shadows, Blessing the darkest night – Remembering the beautiful on the winds When my heart blamed you For the melancholic it finds… You’re a song of hope in my prayer Breaking through the silence, Melodies come to prepare – My heart and soul, my spirit’s knowing When I love, you are the vitality Coloring...

Dasher and Dancer yelled midair and said to Santa, “We can't fly! Earth satellites have made a snare of wireless currents in the sky!” Then Santa answered, “Use plan B- come down one level in the sky. Take care and watch! Don't hit a tree or steeple top as we zoom by!” So they both did as Santa said, though still, they'd be a...

CHRISTMAS EVE
I’ll always remember that Christmas Eve; That magical evening when first we met. The picture’s so vivid, I can’t believe It was thirty-five years ago and yet It’s like yesterday I first saw your face As we sang our carols around the town. You in the alto line, me in the bass, Till you slipped on the ice and tumbled down. You...

So, off I went to dig through my locker room, oh, that gloomy place was like a dusty tomb; found them . . . all those old precious balls and stuff, nothing new, most...
