When St. Nick Does His Schtick

 

Cock-a-doodle-doo!

Is it Christmas yet?

Well, if you've been

 browsing the blogosphere,

halls have been decked,

and candy cane season

seems to be in full swing!

But, it's still autumn,

(at least here, 
in the Med, it is!),

when the great harvest

yields comfort food

and long, cozy nights 
of pure, fireplace bliss.

So, the roosters and chicks
who hang out at my place,
have made it quite clear that
 they won't take part in the race
to announce Christmas,
 until its proper due date! 
 

But when they do,
we'd better be ready
to welcome St. Nick.
(Milk and cookies are fine),
 but you'll probably find
that a hot brew of caffeine
- (with a wee bit of a kick) -
will help the 'jolly old elf'
 do his festive, gift schtick! 

In the meantime,
daily gifts from the chicks
are very much appreciated!

 What about you? 
Are you dizzily decorating 
or lazily recuperating? 
Me? Just sitting here, deciding
 on the safest route to take in tackling
  a basement stuffed with boxes of
   merry motifs and faux snowflakes!

Thanks for visiting and 
have a fun first week
of December!
