#Christmas
The twelth day of christmas is almost here
The decorations waiting to be put back in the box
Till the sound of sleigh bells in December
Resolutions made
Plans prepared
and the room looks like the elves had never visited
meanwhile the evergreens head for the sky
waiting for the springtime trim
and the return of their feathered friends
They say its still Christmas
there’s six weeks or so till lent
but i’m not wishing the season away
the winters not been spent
The first post of 2021.
I
The hour past
The bells chimed
One year confined to the history books
One year to look forward to
II
Late Nights
Laced with wine, food, drinking and song
Leads to a long nap under the duvet
Lying in on the downward strait to twelth night
III
Promises made – Resolutions
in changing and interesting times
enjoying a feast at the first day of the year, while
some prepare, to head out for bargains
Christmas countdown starts today
Heaven looking down as the first candle on the
Resplendent wreath is lit
It’s four sundays till the
Special event, but on these days
There’s less focus on turkey and tinsel,
More the reason we celebrate the day
Advent calendars count down each day , that the
Saviour arrived.

Look around
and you will find them everywhere
north to south
distinct buildings, created for a purpose
many come from far and wide just to see the
architecture, while others like to look
’round the facilities, taking in all the history and artifacts
kept within the walls of the building

#Dragon #Chinese #NewYear #Luck #Manchester
Dancing lightly through the Manchester streets,
Royal dragons parade past the town hall
A colourful line of lanterns decorate the quarter
Going round the gates of China town
Of course, you’ll hear the sounds of gongs and drums
Now and again broken through by fire crackers
They celebrated a new decade with a bit of a bang
in the air rose the golden streamers
new year arriving as they lit up the midnight sky
sensational colours illuminating the city
everyone watching as the clock sounded and they
lit up the sky as colourful as a Christmas tree
As far as I know it, the countdown to Christmas day has begun
December starts tomorrow morning, when
Vergers and other officers of the church will be
Engaging with the parishioners about the upcoming
Nativity celebrations
Taking place in the cathedral on Christmas Eve

A piece for fathers day by inky
For years he’s been there
as someone to look up to
there’s plenty he’s taught you and
he’s there for you every time you need him
every time he sees you – it makes you smile
reality is – he’s the tops!
Another piece from Inky, in response to richa’s Freedom of Expression Challenge
Crack open the party poppers, for its an
Extra special day today
Lots of people are coming to share in
Excitement, in honour of somebody who’s having a really significant
Birthday….
raise the roof
and dance till you drop….
tell the celebrant how loved they are
on their very special day – and
never forget to enjoy yourselves too!
