Friday Flash 55...


Office parties, Secret Santas, the seasonal grogs,
Mulled cider, hot chocolate, delicious egg-nog.
Holly boughs, mistletoe, and colorful poinsettias,
Every town is all aglow, from Butte to Marietta.
Toys for Tots, bell ringers, soldiers home on leave.
"Oh Come All Ye Faithful", "Silent Night", and "Greensleaves"....
...It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas!!!!!
.
.
See? It's not just about Clappers and Chia Pets. If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55, please come tell The G-Man. I will visit, read, enjoy, comment, Then Book! So from the most gracious host from coast to coast, have a Great Week-End!!!
Peace...!!!

    Wow, you summed up the essence of the season in 55 words. And it's shaping up to be a stellar season this year. Joyeux Noël.

    Great 55, g-man! I love it! I like the painting, too.

    I'm up, finally. A bit slow this week. I blame the head cold.

    I guess I'm on the late train too.

    But, it's only 10:35 in the morning on Friday.

    So, really, y'all...we're not technically late until past midnight tonight.

    Everyone else is just early.

    =P

    Anyhow, Galen, this 55 makes me want to light-up some pine-scented incense.

    Which means I have to go buy some.

    I should also go buy some egg nog.

    And with that, because I agree with Ciara whole-heartedly, I need to buy some brandy too.

    Yum.

    Happy holidaze.
    xoxo
