A L O H A
From Honolulu!
Our hearts grow tender
with childhood memories
and love of kindred,
and we are better
throughout the year
for having, in spirit,
become a child
again
at Christmas-time.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
Not a Christmas tree,
yet there it stands,
a quiet sentinel
by the door—
its branches laced
with red and green,
a wink of wonder,
nothing more.
The lights hum softly
in the breeze,
each spark a carol
without sound;
the night feels brighter
through the leaves—
Mele Kalikimaka
all around!
Pixie
May you have the
gladness of Christmas
which is hope;
The spirit of Christmas
which is peace;
The heart of Christmas
which is love.
Ada V. Hendricks

Cute Pixie!
ReplyDeleteA bus made to look like a tram. Cool.
ReplyDeleteI think Pixie has been drinking the Christmas sherry.
Humming and blinking red and green - definitely all that’s needed for a tree to say Christmas wishes! Pats to Pixie!
ReplyDelete...never let your light go out.
ReplyDeleteI like your non-Christmassy Christmas tree.
ReplyDeletePixie sleeps and dreams of catnip.
ReplyDeleteCool trolley, and Mr. Gecko already has his holiday colors on. Peace, Aloha, Linda in Kansas
