(My very rushed attempt at a holiday acrostic)
Hearths are warm with friends and fire, Aglow with light and love's desire. Peace on Earth, goodwill toward all; Pleasant sounds from carolers call. Yuletide greetings we now extend; Happy holidays to family and friends. On the mantle, stockings were hung; Lights on the tree where tinsel was flung. It is "the season to be jolly, Deck the halls with boughs of holly". And under the mistletoe, bestow a kiss... Your lover awaits, Smiling with bliss. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL! ~~flutter~~ "Me, my thoughts are flower strewn Ocean storm, bayberry moon. I have got to leave to find my way...." ~~REM |

flutterbug, you are the apple of my eye.
The mistletoe is more myth than reality these days...*sigh* Happy Holidays to you, flutter, and MAY THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS BE WITH YOU ALWAYS. Ken "It's important, when going after a goal, to never lose sight of the integrity of the journey". – Andy Garcia |

Oh, that's great, Flutter!
It's just wonderful, and so elegant. There's such a lot of good & happy Christmas in this ... Jane "Unclose your mind. You are not a prisoner. You are a bird in flight, searching the skies for dreams." (Haruki Murakami) |

What a great greeting you have sent in your charming acrostic.
I enjoyed every line. Happy Holidays to you and yours. Susan to have great poetry, there must be great audiences-- Walt Whitman |

Flutter,
You should get in a rush more often. Less we forget we need only to read and remember. Joyous Christmas. |

Dearest flutter,
After reading jr's holiday gift, I thought to go back and look at previous Christmas posts and found this gem. Its sentiment seems to be coming ever closer...have a happy one dear friend. “Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.” Mark Twain |

Wow! I so seldom write in rhyme that I had forgotten all about this one. Instead, I found an old unrhymed Christmas acrostic and posted it on the other site I frequent. This one would have been much better. My memory sure anin't what it used to be!

Thanks, Keith, for reading this after the holiday...I apologize for not responding sooner...somehow I missed it. Thank you, too, for not totally abandoning WD. Hopefully if we hang around here long enough, the lost sheep will come back home.
