A Quintessential Holiday

Abecedarium poem- Poppy's Prompts December Edition

A holiday full of charm

Begins with trip to a Christmas tree farm

Cutting down one’s own tree

Deep in the new fallen snow

Everyone sings holiday songs which

Fuels the heart with a jolly spirit

Gingerbread cookies in children’s

Hands, balancing hot cocoa

In the other.

Jingling bells on evergreen wreaths,

Knotted with velvet red bows.

Loving couples standing under the Mistletoe

Making “smacking” sounds, giving customers a show,

Needless to say, all the parents hurried their little

Ones away.

Promises were made on who could put the star up on the

Quintessential Christmas tree that stood in the

Rustic living room, decorated with

Santa ornaments, some adorn with

Tinsel and holly

Ubiquitous is what

Visitors would say

When their eyes gazed upon one Santa with his reindeer playing the

Xylophone!

Yes, a trip to a tree farm, birthed a

Zealous spirit fills us all this holiday season!

This was for Poppy's December Edition Unofficial Challenge.
