I am sure I posted this on one of our poetry threads, but thought I would post it again for this Yuletide Season.
SHIRELAND YULE
In all four Farthings of the Shire
Hobbits gather round the fire
Boughs of holly adorn every Smial
Lots of goodies with every meal
Fir tree placed in the stand
Adorned with ornaments made by hand
Loads of presents underneath
While on the door hangs a wreath
Fireplaces are warmly lit
No one wants to idly sit
Flute and fiddle play yuletide tunes
Feet are tapping in all the rooms
Platters heaping
Mugs steeping
Lasses laughing
Lads’ pipes puffing
Shireland Yules are always fun
Happy Hobbits when all is done
Warm and cozy and content
Eagerly wait for the next event!

Yes, a most Merry Christmas to you all! Listening to the English traditional carols ("God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen") and a few 1950s-60s faves (Carol of the Bells and Drummer Boy still work for me). Got my customary dozen pairs of white sox, so I'm set for the new year!

Happy Hobbity Yule! And wonderous New Year!
Octaive recited this poem (and a few others Stormrider wrote for our poetry contests) at the first Monday for toons who don't have an actual repeating set musical time slot. This was set up by Aedon so toons can sing, play music, recite poetry, or tell stories.

Thanks, Stormy, for bumping this thread back to the top.
A quiet Holiday Season, this one -- rain rather than snow, chatted with only one neighbor, no bustle on the streets; even the grocery stores seemed to have fewer people, and those that were out were preoccupied, subdued, almost hushed. I'll prescribe myself some dark chocolate, listen to a few olde time carols, and take a longish soak in the hot tub -- that ought to put a brighter mood into the day.
At any rate, I hope you all are having a cheery season, and the New Year is indeed, wondrously good!

We came back down to Illinois and stayed in Huntley to be with our Grand daughter and her family. The other daughter came over there too.
Our was pretty quiet, too.
