silliness
oh, overtake me
fill my heart with gladsome glee

gaiety
don’t under bake me
mirth is where I want to be

spontaneity
don’t forsake me
in my dealings as I proceed

it’s December
of thirst do slake me
tinsel up my heart I plead

adorn my arms
as tannenbaum
in spirited frivolity

lace my eyes
with twinkling ardor
stretch my lips with hilarity

Christmas spirit
enliven tongue
and the soul deep in me

let the world
know joy inhabits
every inch and cell of me

lighten my steps
tender my touch
sweeten my kiss deliciously

let me not
celebrate the blessings
one ounce staid or stoically

"tinsel up my heart I plead"

gotta love it! Good job

"Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone
I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."

You shall make a very nice Christmas present for someone. I do enjoy your silliness and hope it is catching.

Thank you both so profoundly!!!

You have begun the tinseling process. http://216.87.210.95/pip/smiles/rollsmile.gif

Now, I've tried to put the rolling smile on here. The preview didn't show anything but the web address. Instructions that are simple???
