too merry to miss it?

Linking with Lisa and dVerse poets for quadrilles at the pub!

for some people,
holidays may mean
over-the-top sumptuous
feast with relatives

for others, it’s a
shopping frenzy of
over-the-top frivolous
spending with credit

for all us mortals,
let holy days celebrate
over-the-top gracious
presence, Emmanuel:

God With Us!

God rest you merry

Kristjaan at Carpe Diem encourages us to write a “full circle” haiku series using twelve words (bold), one per line in listed order, on a wintertime theme.

hoar frost on window
breath of heaven’s mist on trees
morning light sparkles

scent of mistletoe
cuddle under soft blanket
fireplace embers glow

poem of december
children praying for first snow
clouds whisper promise

lights on Christmas tree
wrap gifts in shiny paper
smile to see bright star
