Calling All Christmas Posts

I want to read all your Christmas pieces that I HAVE NOT commented on before.

Prewrites or new, it doesn’t matter.

Happy, sad or whatever.

Poems- any style, stories, verses, etc

If it has to do with the holiday season, I want to read it.

Post as many as you want.


The only ones I really don't want to see are any bashing the holiday.


If you post any I have commented on before, please don't be upset if I don't comment again


Merry Christmas all

    Dear Davis

    I have another Chrismastime poem but do not expect it to do good in this contest because it is about my town, and makes local references which an out-of-towner would not recognize. Is that OK with you?

    John
