I WISH this is what it looked like this year! But no, everything is still snowless. Global warming?! (This picture is from 2010.)

We Wish You A Merry Christmas.....

We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
We wish you a merry Christmas,
And a happy New Year!

The trip to NJ
Will often appear
On my blog in the next four days
To give bloggers great cheer!

Now give me a lot of comments,
Now give me a lot of comments,
Now give me a lot of comments,
And write them right now!

I won't stop until I get some,
I won't stop until I get some,
I won't stop until I get some......

"CJ!!!!!!!!"

"I'm coming!"

(Let's just say we're a little behind on our cookies...)

A Day In The Artic Tundra

The animal tracks in the neighbors' yards looks like a caravan of squirrels were doing a happy dance in the newly fallen snow last night. They are right next to holly trees bending over to make hideaways, my tracks from sledding this morning, and suspicious looking lumps in the fields of white. Logs? Rocks? I don't know and I won't know until I come back later this afternoon. All these snowy landmarks are whooshing by- my secret fort, the partially frozen swampland, another lump or two. It will take forever just to get my sled up the hill.
There's my friend going sledding with his dad. Sometimes I wish I had a plastic sled like his, it would be so easier to carry. Soon it's good-bye to him as well and he joins the others on my mental map of things I've seen. My boots are filled to the brim with ice that couldn't have possibly gotten there. How many lumps to the driveway? How many? HOW MANY?
I pass another friend's house. They're going away for winter break, and I wish they were here. I remember how we hiked in the woods together during the big snow in March and discovered a hidden world filled with endless hiding places and snow-covered trees. When are they coming home, anyways? This joins the sea of unanswered questions in my mind, which turns into a tsunami. Suddenly my little map of the Island of Landmarks is flooded.
But then one image floats onto my island: the driveway. And I'm there! And I'm home! And-I'm alive.
Now, how to get those frozen boots off.....

Christmas Time

Break in a few more weeks
Reddened and rosy cheeks
Kitchen with smells so good
Christmas trees made of wood
Nativity up high
So my sister won't spy
Closets packed head to toe
With secrets I don't know
Chestnuts upon a fire
Songs from the local choir
Favorite books in a bin
Visiting all our kin
Candy canes please a crowd
Santa's truck is so loud
Homemade gifts stowed away
Until it's Christmas Day
Decor lights up a bush
Stars sail by with a hush
Hauling out winter gear
2010 is here!
