Advent Calendar Day 14
Good morning and welcome to another chilly and cloudy Monday in December. Only 11 days till Christmas. I still can't believe this year is nearly over. Not that I'm not happy to see it go. I have high hopes for 2021, and I'm guessing you do too.
We have a brand new contributor to the Advent Calendar this morning. Terry Wylis, who you may know from novels like Kissing Sherlock Holmes and Solitude & Sea Glass written with T.D. McKcKinney--or from just hanging out with the gang on Facebook.
Terry is sharing her lovely art and poetry with us.

The smile of pine and gingerbread,
The warmth of fire's glow;
A moment of affection shared
Beneath the mistletoe;
A diamond-fall of snowflakes
That carry their own light;
Sweet reverence for the tiny Child
Born on that holy night;
Searching for that special gift
That shows how much you care;
Voices singing joyfully
The carols held so dear;
A bond with friends and family
The love held in our hearts;
The little things filled with the joy
That Christmastime imparts.
1995
Terry has offered to mail that wonderful little twilight scene to one lucky commenter. Share what Christmas is to you and I'll randomly select from the responses below.
