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.

Love You,

Those that can't
endure the bad,
will not live to
see the good.

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
ReplyDeleteSweet words from Pixie, Cloudia. ;-)

Cloudia thank you for the blessings. I appreciate it more than you know. I feel like my eye is getting better. I truly love this post and the poem about Christmas. I wish all of that for you as well and the very best 2026.
ReplyDeleteI love the trolley decked out in holiday light.
ReplyDeletePixie obviously has visions of sugar plums dancing in her head. Will she be able to sleep until the 25th? That is one looong cat nap!
