Jingle bells adorn the sleigh.
Family ride makes the holidays delightfully merry.
Blankets shield us from the cold.

Premium MemberDAILHY GRATITUDE FAMILY

I am grateful this holiday season…
or for any time spent in the arms of my family…
So when they say upon leaving…”See you soon.”
I can answer…not soon enough for me.

Premium MemberGREYHOUND BUS CHRISTMAS TREASURE CHEST

Family Visit
Highway destination
Christmas presentation
Roll out smile
Reflecting back while
Baltimore being my arrival
Thinking on a Christmas novel
Connection in togetherness
Christmas Day almost upon
Snow falls starting the holiday right
Momentum spirit
Inspirating merit
Journey on Journey on
Christmas has officially begun
Embracing love among
Merry Christmas in the Greyhound way
Peace, Joy and Blessings every step of the getaway
Happy Prosperous New Year 2026
Through the mind and enter the heart
Love surrounds and spread it in warmth
The friendly Greyhound Driver with handshake extended
Go Greyhound and let memories carry their own holiday stories for many years to come.

Premium MemberFAMILY HOLIDAY TRADITION

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
behind each numbered door, a secret~ chocolate coins wrapped in foil, a cinnamon bear stiff with sugar, a marzipan pig snout-deep in glitter. the rituals are precise~ peel back the perforation, let your finger claim the prize. (But never peek ahead.) by the twenty-fourth, the grid is gutted~ a hollow cathedral of empty windows, where only the memory of sweetness lingers like tinsel.


Premium MemberDAILY GRATITUDE FAMILY

I am grateful for understanding 
during this and every holiday season
something that always gives my heart a lift…

How…when I’m searching for the ideal present 
I remember
any time spent together with my family…
is already a beautiful gift.

Premium MemberHolidays are for love

Memories of family come back to me in droves
when the holiday season rolls around.
It's the simplest things of warmth
and togetherness that bring a smile
and flood my heart with cheer.

Premium MemberWhat Kind of Holiday

  
     So much to look forward to
        yet, for many, so much to dread

     The turkey with all the trimmings
         the family gathered together -- 

      to fight over ‘party’ politics
         or gorge themselves on ‘football pleasure?’ ...

      Is it a chance to praise this nation’s humble beginnings
         or to cleave us further asunder with senseless sinning 

      C’mon, America: Isn't Thanksgiving for praising the Lord
         for recounting the finest qualities of humanity ~

      Not for watching football, getting drunk or stoned
         insulting and embarrassing each other, and other insanity

Premium MemberGoing all out

Homespun holidays around the corner
Closeknit loving bonds with family and friends
Time for orchestrating precious memories

Premium MemberMulled Cider Memories



        Mulled Cider Memories
           


Santa Claus sees what we 
are doing.
We rejoice in grandly...
snow-shoeing.

And, oh we do love our hot,
mulled cider.
Especially next to a warm, cozy, 
fire!

Christmas tunes joyfully fill many
a home.
Friends an relatives here, who do 
Love us ..and do not roam.

We love each other for who we, as
individuals, truly are.
Freedom lovers, we, one and all,who
sing beneath silver, Christmas stars.

Speaking our truths, behind wreathed 
ribboned, decorated doors
Bright eyes that sparkle, arms that hold.
True love carved, in poetic, holiday gold.

Premium MemberDANCING CHRISTMAS TREES

All through the forest
A holiday to commence in marvelous
It’s the Christmas trees stance
They will soon dance
A Christmas Carols are Sang
Togetherness being among
The music tempo is circulated up
Dazzle Christmas lights
All shining brightly at night
The Christmas trees are now in formation
It is a lovely creation
All this is happening outdoors
Snow begins to fall
What a way to start the holiday for all
Imagine and dream
The Christmas Trees are all in assembly
Dancing around each other
In distance of glitter is a frozen stream
The Christmas Trees are dancing on cue
They are giving the Christmas preview
Talent at its best
Dazzle of life
The start of Christmas has turned out nice.
