The cards have been mailed, and plenty received. If someone's been missed, we would surely be grieved.
The stockings are hung by the chimney with care. (Along with some fights on whose sock goes where.)
The presents are wrapped, all snug near the tree. It's possible that I even put one down there for me.
The decorations (though scant) have been placed out with care. So far I'm not manic, they might last out the year.
The flower has bloomed, no thanks to my man. He fed it Coke Zero, then quickly he ran.
The plastic nativity changes each day. Sometimes poor Jesus goes very astray.
The good one sits untouched, as per mother's orders. If someone goes touching, they'll be sent 'cross the border.
If only you'd hurry to us, Christmas dear.
We're waiting most anxious for you to be here.

Oh my kids would have a field day at your house. We hide baby Jesus until Christmas Day and it drives them crazy! Merry Christmas!!!

There's an old saying, and it's true, I know it.
Santa leaves more presents if you're a poet.
Love the poem - hope Oma's right. (who am I kidding, Oma's are always right.)
Your house is beautifully decorated. It looks like you are ready for the holidays! Merry Christmas, Christie!
You've added some rhythm and rhyme to my day,
Thank you for sharing in your own special way!
Wonderful post and pictures. Merry Christmas! Kerri
Beautiful decorations and pictures and love the poem! Thanks for helping me get into the spirit of Christmas on this dreary travel day.
I love that mine is at the top of your collage. Bit eager, no? Shows Josh you aren't the only one. An early Merry Christmas you you!
So cute...look how clever you are! Have a great Holiday.
Wow, you're a poet, and you didn't even know that you were a poet.
Looks like someone got the good deal on Walgreen paper too! I have the Ho Ho Ho paper as well
Holiday greetings from Norway! Tell your husband hi from Glenn Nystad (Denmark mission).
You have such a fun and charming family and your blog post are awesome!
Best wishes from Nina
Wow, Nina! I went to your profile and was unable to leave a comment on your blog. I hope you see this! My husband sends his best to your family and has many fond memories of his time in Denmark with Glenn. What a small world it is, no? Merry Christmas and best wishes to your family from ours.
So the perfect placement of those cards and pictures makes my OCD smile. Love it!
A few years ago, a grandchild left their star wars mc'd toy on the counter, so I did a little irreverence..
I took a picture of yoda paying his respects with a caption that read: "The Force is strong with this one..."
Stie, you never cease to amaze me with how clever and talented you are. Your home looks lovely and I loved your poetic post.
Coke Zero, huh? Somebody deserves coal!!!
Merry, merry Christmas, you!!
