Madness overtakes us each year Earthbound children dream of Santa Riding across the starry night Right to their house, a present Yielding, Rudolph-guided sleigh. Calorie-rich cookies and cakes Harbinger of hurtful tummies Radiant, expectant children's faces Imaginative, unspoiled by truth that Santa really is dear Uncle Fred Tanked on too much spiked eggnog and Merry songs and mountains of food And watching Tiny Tim one more time Santa is a wonderful apparition. To all eager children the world Over Santa sends his love to you. All is calm, all is at peace Loving mom, excited children Learns dad is home from the war. ©December 17, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ Do what you have to do to feel right, |

Beautiful Acrostic, dear Jerry. You have put in the good and the bad as it is on such - mostly stressful - days. I always try to create Christmas atmosphere, but for the spiritual sphere there seems never to be enough time. Sorry I am in a hurry, the list is ready, must go and get what's needed, trying to remain patient. I'm dreaming of a White Christmas ... will I ever experience it again?? Merry Christmas in peace to you too, thank you. Love and joy. Margherita |

Good morning Jerry Pat. A lovely post. I have eaten most of of the delicious cookies my sweet neighbor brought to me the other day. Yummy she put cut dried cranberries and nuts into them.I had never had that combination and could not resist.LOL As for shopping I have too many in my family so have finally stopped that chore.I even stopped the checks I used to send. It is their turn to make Christmas happen for their families. Have a nice Christmas Jerry. best to you, Jo |

Heh.Heh Gotta love the fact that you've been pigging out on those freebie cookies, and yes, that combination sounds delicious. Cannot blame you for stopping all the "giving." I don't even send Christmas cards anymore, except for one this year. Merry Christmas to you, Jo, and may the New Year be good to you . . . ~ Do what you have to do to feel right, |

Hey you Southern Lou! Have yourself a great holiday pal! I may try a bucket or two of that tasty (but cheap) California wine you're always belching about! Now then, I'd definitely say this is a great acrostic, if I knew what an acrostic was. Sounds like it might be some kind of double-stick tape or something! Keep 'em tickled JerryPat! 88's and a one horse open sleigh... She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Well done Jerry, hope your Christmas is as good as your poem. "Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance." |

I'll toast you with some of that "spiked egg nog" Mr. Bolton. A toast to your good cheer through the new year and beyond. Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me! |
