For The "Kid" In Us






‘Twas the night before Christmas
in a forest dark and deep
jingle bells rang 
rousing deer from their sleep

No time for eating
their lichens and moss
Santa was calling
Santa ~ their boss

A meet up with Santa
to pilot his sleigh
eight lucky reindeer
would show him the way

By twinkle of stars
by moon’s shining light
till daylight is breaking 
Santa’s great night

Christmas Eve magic
For all girls and boys
Eight happy reindeer
a sleigh full of toys

    Sooo nice, "Eight handpicked reindeer." Don't you sort of want to still believe in Santa!

    Even reindeer have a bit of a morning rush as they head off to work LOL. I hope they manage to get a tasty bit of lichen and moss on their travels.

    Dearest Helen,
    Wow, such a sweet poem and love the artwork, he earned a heart for it!
    Well, we did see lots of deer, also bucks, while driving the Blue Ridge Parkway entering at Asheville, NC till the end almost when fog made me exit. We had sunshine for 2 days and marveled at the sights on numerous lookouts. Then we went to Shenandoah National Park to ride the Skyline Drive. South Entrance was not possible due to a fallen tree so I had to detour and missed about one third of the Skyline but the remainder in full sunshine was fabulous. Got it done and my 90.5 year old senior got to see some of our countries most beautiful sights. Grateful for having been able to do this, 1,900 mi solo driving but proud of it.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

    Ha. Mariette drove past my backyard - it backs up to the Blue Ridge Parkway (small world). This is SUCH a delightful read - it should be published in my opinion. You are amazing.

    Oh, this was so much fun. I think it should be a new universal Christmas reading. :)
