I'm posting this to help all of us get into the holiday spirit.
I am also in the throws of moving and also have the flu. We'll get it done. Mariah (my daughter...at AD she's Mariah Rowse) and I will be without a computer while everything gets transferred so bare with us. We'll be back by next week. Peace, love and harmony.

PEACE GROWS
Christmas and the awe of the children
Bright colored eyes aglow
Reflections in all their imaginings
Caroling toe to toe
Hats and ear muffs to fight the chill
Mittens and scarves galore
Laughter for joy in the moments
Peace in our hearts once more
It's the time of year to get fancy
All velvet and dandied up
Bright colored ribbons for hair bows
Red jinglebells for our pups
It's Christmas with all the trimmings
It's hearts full to their fill
It's smells of evening candles
Single ones lit on the sills
Just look at all the wreaths displayed
Upon porches so splendid down south
Notice the bow of mistletoe
Attaching the lips to mouths
Ears to the drone of a jingle
Coming from way down the street
Goodness could it be Kris Kringle
The man most kids want to meet?
The myth of the holiday season
The greatness that keeps us all small
The hardened hearts of adult life
Now beats with the child in us all
The wonder of mysterious giving
The tear in the eyes of the weak
The hands of enemies holding
Our faith now beating in peace
The hearts and broken boundaries
Whether family, friend or foe
It's music that merges between us
It's peace and letting it grow
Darn Susan, take my hand and lead me to the mistletoe, a big hug, a soft kiss and the magic of your heart and my love of Christmas will have us naked under the tree with a fire crackling in the parlour. Love this write and I love people who love Christmas as much as I. Hope your move isn't too stressful and look forward to seeing you as soon as you are back on line. Soon time for us to build another sizzling write I think.
Hugs

Great build up to His birthday, it does bring out the kid in many..
People are basically good, unless there are some flawed connections in the upstairs wiring. Christmas is probably a good time to contemplate good matters. Good luck with the move and hope the flu will fade soon!
Susan this is gorgeous. Such superb imagery word painted for a holiday hanging on the wall. The art is fantastic too. Thank you for leaving this. Blessings and peace as you move, I pray health returns to normal and all goes well for you both!
May we always keep Christ in Christmas and remember what He told us long ago, Love one another as I have loved you. This is a splendid Christmas reminder in beautiful verse and magnificient pic to go with it.
Spasiba for this - love the holiday sentiment! Folks rant on the holidays, but for these reasons and more they really brighten life.
