Unfortunately, decorations and wrapping presents is not the only projects needed doing this holiday.. 🙂

It were a few days before Christmas With a half decorated tree, It were all quiet in the house All still in slumber, you see. Still in my pajamas All snuggled in bed, With visions of winning the lottery Dancing in my head… There were a loud noise And I awoke with a start, I shuffled to the windows The curtains I did part. Was it 9 tiny reindeer With a jolly elf dressed in red? Disappointment in the air It were the garbage collector instead. I ventured to the kitchen For a spot of tea and some toast, Opened the fridge to find A turkey and dressing to roast. Ventured to the room with the tree Being warmed by the morning sun, At a glance I realized with a frown That there’s dusting to be done. In the corner were the vacuum Looking so forlorn, It needs to be run Some time before Christmas morn. Presents needing paper, ribbons Bows and all that matter, I stand outside with rake in hand A yard full of leaves to gather. A present under the tree Could it be my favorite toy? Then a thought came to mind I may be too tired to enjoy… (Larry “Dutch” Woller)One cannot have holidays without a bit of humor, correct Mr. Stevens?.. 🙂 Hello Diary, Getting away from then holiday festivities briefly, while enjoying the spirit of the holiday, here on the path one still keeps in mind responsibilities.. and one has to do with the environment and dealing with paper… I have been a volunteer observer C.O.O.P for the National Weather Service for 19 years… instead of paper, I use a small recorder..








So, that gives you a brief idea of what else is happening in this corner of the universe this holiday besides the holiday festivities.. And with that being said, will quit rambling and close for now, but shall return again one day, Fate be willin’ and the creeks don’t rise…
And in parting, some humorous of COVID-19 by Mr. Stevens… 🙂
Oh my goodness……….i felt every word of your poem……..i started to laugh, refreshed that someone “got” me! Thank you so much!

Hope you are having a wonderful holiday, life is all that you wish for it to be and until we meet again..
May flowers always line your path
and sunshine light your way,
May songbirds serenade your
every step along the way,
May a rainbow run beside you
in a sky that’s always blue,
And may happiness fill your heart
each day your whole life through.
May the sun shine all day long
Everything go right, nothing go wrong
May those you love bring love back to you
And may all the wishes you wish come true

Only fourteen stress filled days to go. Every year something unbelievably important seems to get forgotten, such as sellotape, stuffing for the turkey or sixpences for the Christmas pudding. What will it be this year?
