Winter wandered into our neck of the woods yesterday.
And, with it, arrived a parade of frosted fellows,
all buckled up to brave the oncoming cold.
Some wore wooly hats and checkered scarves,
while others donned a muff for their nose!
Top hats were the trend,
with red and white trim, along the rim.
On the mantel they all stood,
while we scurried about gathering wood,
to light the fire and snuggle up,
to tales of their friend, Frosty.
May you have a very cozy Christmas,
and create your own new memories to share.

ReplyDeleteSuch cute, cute Snowmen! I know it is hard to be away from your family in Canada, but I am glad you are in a sunny climate. Somehow the sun makes everything better. I know because I am away from mine, too, this year.

A late Merry Christmas to you, Poppy. I would leave your mantel up through January or as long as it's cold there. It is sheer winter fun too. Those blues look beautiful in your room. I think I am beginning to crave more blues in my house, and greens. But then, orchid has been proclaimed color of 2014 so I wonder what trends that will set, and how long will it last?
ReplyDeleteWe had a blessed Christmas, especially watching Nora discover what Santa Claus left her, but I've been nearly incapacitated with pinched nerve in shoulder and more knots in neck and shoulders than I would have thought there would be room for. Typing does not help it so I'll say goodbye to Poppy View until another day, hoping that this week following Christmas will be a blessed one for you.
Love,
Dewena
Belated Christmas wishes to you, Poppy! Hope you didn't miss your Canada family too much to enjoy Christmas in Crete. Hope you are enjoying a wonderful holiday week and that the coming year will be filled with health and happiness!
