Happy Christmas and a Joy-Filled New Year!

Christmas 2010

flannel nightgowns float
before a wonderland tree
after pittering down the
farmhouse staircase
then clutching new ponies
after a warm bath
hot cocoa and cookies
are laid under down comforters
and warm quilts
with wriggling raisin toes inside.

St. Nicholas day brought cookie baking...and shoes filled with chocolate coins and peppermint candies...
