A Holiday, A Holiday, And The First One Of The Year
For Laura Pruett's Holidays? Holy Days? Pen It To Win It!
Introduction
This is for Laura Pruett's "Holidays? Holy Days? Pen It To Win It!" challenge that you can read about here:
The first thing that came to mind for this Challenge was Fairport Convention's song "Matty Groves". I was going to do a story, but then I thought why not try a villanelle? Three holidays and a story of a fateful love affair, Lady Donald fancying an affair with your Matty Groves. There are lots of holidays around the turn of the year so I think I stand a chance.
The three I mentioned are Christmas, Epiphany and Yule.

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.
