Merry Christmas!

I just couldn't let this week slip by without wishing my dear readers and blogging buddies God's rich blessings and a blessed Christmas!  :-)

So...

MERRRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Joy to the world, the Lord is Come!  Let earth receive her King!



(Traditional Christmas mug of the fam :-)

Okay, now for a little entertainment...(that's what you came here for, right? ;-)  *clearing throat*


'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the manor
Life is silent and still, save a horse in light canter
Wounds barely healed, feeling every hoofbeat and jostle
John presses on, fearing Louisa's circumstance hostile


For she trusted a man, unaware of dark motives
Now Great Britain's at risk, and the air is explosive
God is able, God will keep us, John assures his anxious mind
And I will reach France and save Louisa in time!


(A precursor to my next chapter for your reading delight
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!)


LOL!  I'm not a poet...still, I couldn't bring myself to pass up Marji Laine's cool challenge to write my own C. Clement Moore poem highlighting my WIP.  Hope you enjoyed the laugh. :-)

Gwen, you have a beautiful family!

I hope your Christmas was wonderful!

Gwendolyn Gage said...

Thanks Loree! I did have a wonderful Christmas! I hope you did too! But I'm going to regret getting my son a drum full of noisy musical instruments... On top of that, my sister got him a pair of red shoes that squeak when he walks. It's so cute to watch him dance in them, but ay yi yi! LOL!
