DAY 3299 November 20, 2021
Red or Green
Silver or Gold
Blue or White
Or any combo of the above colors.

What speaks holiday to you and why?



Red is the color of my babies hair.
Both born with skin soft and fair.
I still hang a red stocking with Baby P.
My Mom made before our first toy filled tree.

Green for all the live fir trees we cut.
Beautiful cold days, hot chocolate in cups.
Riding in wagons to find the perfect one.
The smell and laughter, fun for old and young.

Silver bell ringers and choirs to hear.
Thanksgiving we all went to Rich’s, my dear.
Rode the pink pig over new toys,
followed by a huge tree to light up Atlanta with joy.

White reminds me of my Persian kitty,
sliding over snow, not seen often in our city.
I remember a fake tree with flocked white,
Meant to be snow, it was quite a sight!

Blue is for my boys lovely eyes.
How wide they were over Christmas toys.
Gold is for the wedding ring I wear,
And my love for the man who put it there.
