deck the halls with...
hmm, how shall I deck?
garlands add a touch of bliss
plus reindeer, what the heck!
Can I find the snow globes,
maybe a snowman or two?
What happened to Santa's wardrobe?
His hat has been coloured blue!
tum, tee, dum tumm...
There's the angels three
I don't remember where this jingle bear came from,
but there's my old ceramic lit-up tree!
Oh, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
yes, the flakes are in the air
I have started on my shopping checklist
and Bob & Doug McKenzie are singing the 12 days of Christmas without a care
My sides are tickled raw
for their 2 pounds of back bacon and beer in a tree,
yes True Canadians, Hahaha
Oh, let's pull out all the other Christmas CDs!
Well, I should vacuum and dust the house
so that I can place the ornaments just so
ah, my favourite; Mrs. Claus & her spouse!
Yup, December 1st and the festive season has hit me all aglow!
Happy Holiday!

The first snow just makes the beginning of the holiday season feel right. We'll be visiting our favorite ornaments this weekend when we put up the decorations. Always a fun time! You captured that essence beautifully -- and pass the bacon, please? :)
ReplyDeleteAll yours Talon! I will stick with the beer in a tree thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteCool poem. Don't think I've ever read a poem that references the McKenzie Brothers. lol Enjoyable read that gets me in the holiday spirit :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent I'm really looking forward to Christmas! I've never been as poor, but I've never been happier. Who'd have thought it! Really seasonal read! Thanks for sharing

ReplyDeleteha. how festive...lots of fun packed in those verse...we unleashed the nutcracker nation yeaterday...close to 200 of them...yikes.
ReplyDeleteTake off Hoser...
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays Eh?
...And a Beer!!!
Oh, you make me feel so guilty. I have not done a thing, and I'm usually well into it all by this time. Maybe listening to a few Christmas CDs will do it for me too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my place and commenting. I appreciate it.
@Brian; dare I ask what the nutcracker nation is? Do you have 200 little men wandering around your house chomping on nuts or little fingers or whatever can be wedged between their chompers?
ReplyDelete@G-Man; Cheers eh!! And I messed it up, as it was 2 turtlenecks, 3 french toast and 4lbs of backbacon. Geez, take off Hoser!
ReplyDelete& bring back the beer G-Man!!
@Patti; If it makes you feel any better Patti, my eldest came home commenting that her teachers already had their trees up with lights all aglow. I sensed a winsome note, until they walked into the house to find my handiwork. Now to get some eggnog to go with my Christmas carols. :) Cheers Patti!

@Shashi; Oh, thank you! I was feeling whimsical. I was half way between cleaning and decorating and went with it and the smiles that were brought forth. You honour me Shashi. Blessings to you
ReplyDelete@Gautami; Hello Gautami. Indeed, wise words sweet woman.
ReplyDeleteJust commenting on everything here, so I don't have to go through the word-identifying sign-in rigamarole several times... Sounds like you are in a good and funny place my friend. in your snowy haven. Love to be here & read about it!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the sign in thing Marilynn. I was getting some spam, so thought I would turn it on for a bit & hope it goes away.
