Merry Christmas!!

Happy holidays to one and all!
My how fast the year has passed.
Soon Santa will be passing through,
Hopefully the snow will last!

Each evening a new window shines with
Festive lights of a newly decorated tree.
I imagine all the gifts of presents each
Child anticipates with jubilee.

Entrance ways look stunning adorned with
Wreaths of holly, accented with red poinsettias.
Tiny reindeer grace rooftops; a snowman keeps watch
Over the carolers who are merrily singing operettas.

Sidewalks are busy with shoppers who are eagerly
In search of just one more Christmas sales event.
Not worried at all about the coming New Year,
When they realize all the money they’ve spent!

Towns are alive with cheerfulness.
Folks are all too happy to greet neighbors.
Probably due to the anxiousness of starting
Season vacations away from daily labors.

Isn’t it amazing how some people go all out?
Miles of lights strewn everywhere to impress
The public like some publicity ploy to be the best.
Tis okay with me! It’s quite beautiful, I confess.

Finally when it’s Christmas day the winter air
Permeates with the smells of oven roasted turkey,
Hams baked with pineapple rings, cranberries,
Cinnamon sticks that make us all feel perky!

Sounds of children’s laughter as they shred
Yards of wrapping paper at record speed.
Doggies ‘n kitties playing with ribbons ‘n bows,
In search of delicious treats ‘til they succeed!

How I miss those days of my youth,
When our home fires burned with felicity!
Do indulge in creating fond new memories.
And please, accept individual eccentricities.

Merry Christmas!

About Meriton Eggs

Meritons can only successfully evolve in the month of December. They can't at any other time of the year.

About the Meriton Creature

Meritons are the ultimate hunting foxes. To camouflage themselves during the winter months (with snow on the ground), they attach themselves to the similarly-colored bark from nearby trees. After its prey is within sight, they release from the tree and quickly execute their plan.

Meritons are most active in the winter months, despite the need for the same amount of food throughout all of the year. There must be something about the colder weather that makes them fiercer.
