it’s beginning to look a little like Christmas…

December 7, 2012 By Talya Tate Boerner

Can December be
Here?
Really?
I almost skipped Halloween, other than a
Stroll down Spring wearing my witch hat.
Thanksgiving quickly came and went, stress-free.
Maybe I will buy a Christmas tree today, or
Another day,
Some other day.


Surprisingly, I did manage to 
Ease the decorations from the 
Attic and
Scatter them around the house. I
Only need a tree
Now. And gifts.

my decorations…

    I love writing acrostics. In fact, that’s how I begin many a poem. Good job. I especially like your aluminum tree and the singing angel next to it. I still have to get my decorations down. And we are thinking of using the tall Norfolk Pine as the “tree” this year. Billy is no longer happy to get the 9-foot, pre-lit one put together, and of course, I don’t know how!!!
