An evergreen bough, a circle of cheer,
A symbol of Christmas, the merriest time e’er
*
With baubles and tinsel, formed in a band,
A festive decoration, often made by hand.
*
Mistletoe hung, for kisses so sweet,
A gingerbread man, a tasty treat.
*
Garland upon garland, a cascade from above,
An emblem of joy, a gift of eternal love.
*
So display your wreath, and let it be known,
Christmas is here, hang the Yule Star to set the tone.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

This made me feel cozy and happy :) Great poem MC!
I hang a crystal mistletoe (or glass, IDK) above a door, but no one sees it or kisses under it….guess I have to drag my hubby there. Nice job!!
This has that great Christmas vibe that we all need
Can't believe that Christmas is here again so soon. Mistletoe and gingerbread. Happy holidays tis said.
