Feliz Navidad and pretty holiday things!

A holiday Villanelle.

By Novel AllenPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Chestnuts roasting on open fires, eggnog spiked with holiday flavors and carols being sung by choirs

Young folks happy and free, singing Peace on earth. Goodwill to all, have lots of fun

For all the world, the young and the young at heart, we wish you great happiness in all the lovely colors

~~~~~~~

May your every wish be one of joyful tidings, may gifts come in showers

Think great thoughts, let your hearts celebrate quite brightly with all and everyone

Chestnuts roasting on open fires, eggnog spiked with holiday flavors and carols being sung by choirs

Remember to give and not only expect to receive, spread the flames of the loving holiday fires

Make your wishes, send them floating on joyful wings knowing that caring has begun

For all the world, the young and the young at heart, we wish you happiness in all the lovely colors

~~~~~~~

Remember the fires gone unlit, the lack of shelters for some unfortunate criers

The hostile cities, the unfriendly towns, those who journey in weather sharp and undone

Chestnuts roasting on open fires, eggnog spiked with holiday flavors and carols being sung by choirs

~~~~~~~

Voices may sing in your ear the folly of a kind heart reaching for joy to the world and goodwill to men's desires

Let's watch life's elevator not become darkened by greed of the few but the will of the many, shine like the sun

For all the world, the young and the young at heart, we wish you great happiness in all the lovely colors

Let us join our hearts to sing one song, and make a universal wish for all hearths to burn with each hearts desire

If only for one night, day, week, month or year, may we all have a happy holiday and become as one

Chestnuts roasting on open fires, eggnog spiked with holiday flavors and carols being sung by choirs

For all the world, the young and the young at heart, we wish you great happiness in all the lovely colors.

    Heartwarming and perfect for the season, although I'm now annoyed I never thought of buying brandy and making eggnog this year! 😁
