Christmas Cheer,

[Effie Truver]

'Tis two weeks before Christmas and all through this site,
Everybody keeps giving to their hearts delight.
Some challenges hang on a wing and a prayer,
In hopes that their gives will bring others, 'Good Cheer'.

Gals in their curlers and guys in their caps.
Are racking their brains over what gifts to wrap.
As everyone gathers, there arises such chatter,
About this give or that give and how much they matter.

Away to each blog, each member will visit,
With so much excitement to read what is in it.
For some the moon's rising, for others it sets.
Whatever the time zone, there are needs to be met.

There are charities, families, neighbors and bosses,
And strangers who've suffered such terrible losses.
The tally grows higher than a rooftop or steeple,
As more and more giving, keeps challenging people.

Especially now, in this holiday rush,
There's so much to do that some need a push.
There are gifts delivered with a ribbon or bow,
To those who have sunshine, while others have snow.

The overall theme is to pass on good will,
And share it with others through our virtual quill.
To give of ourselves, is the best gift to share,
And the ultimate reason for why we are here.

As we faithfully meet, day after day,
To share our gifts in this unusual way,
Let the joy of Christmas remain in your hearts,
And continue this challenge as another year starts.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!!
Blessings, Effie

Thanks to all for your kind replys and encouraging words to let me know maybe I should try to keep writing poems. It is my passion and I can't take credit for them as they are divinely inspired. All I do is take dictation. Blessings and joy at Christmas, Effie
