Merriment Day 13

Ode to Merrie Day Thirteen
I decided to add some smell to my Merrie!
Wreaths I made from my very own boxwood's.
Let there be light.
Plus the warm glow of candles.
Scented Blessings to All

Merriment #12

And My Stocking Was Hung...


Santa I have been good...

If you do not count I cheated on my diet.
Then there's the time I bought way more fabric than I went in to get.
Er, then I speed whilst driving.

Ok, so I've been sorta good. LOL

Christmas Stocking Blessings to All
Here's hoping Santa fills yours full.
I on the  other hand might be getting some lumps of coal.

Merriment #9 and #10

 
You better watch out.
 
 
You better not cry.
You better not pout.
I'm telling you why.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
 
Just a few ornaments from our skinny tree.
  
Christmas Blessings to All

Let's all do the Santa Dance!
 
 
Twist to the right and pose like So.
Now Raise your leg for this Stance.
This is how this jolly Elf
Does his Santa Dance!
 
Our tall skinny tree
decked out in Red White and Blue!
 
Dancing Blessings to All

Merriment #6 &Birthday Giveaway Winner


He comes in the night! He comes in the night!
He softly, silently comes,

While the little brown heads on the pillows so white
Are dreaming of bugles and drums.
He cuts thro' the snow like a ship thro' the foam,
While the white flakes 'round him whirl.
Who tells him I know not, but he findeth the home
Of each good little boy and girl


His sleigh it is long, and deep, and wide;
It will carry a host of things,
While dozens of drums hang over the side,
With the sticks sticking under the strings.
And yet not the sound of a drum is heard,
Not a bugle blast is blown,
As he mounts to the chimney-top like a bird,
And drops to the hearth like stone.
 
 
The little red stockings he silently fills,
Till the stockings will hold no more;
The bright little sleds for the great snow hills
Are quickly set down on the floor.
Then Santa Claus mounts to the roof like a bird,
And glides to his seat in the sleigh;
Not the sound of a bugle or drum is heard
As he noiselessly gallops away.

He has just the right snowlishes personality don't you think!




Visitors to our home are greeted to a welcoming pineapple and Santa
