Reindeer Rendezvous

Dancing on roof tops... prancing for Joy

Fireside chats and gentle laughs 

Warm puppies sleeping... cherrie pies baking 

Tea kettles whistling... Mother knitting sweaters 

for snowy winter weather... like birds in feathers 

Moon flirting with the North Star... a chorus of snowflakes 

falling on Roof Tops... where children dream of the 

sound of Reindeer dancing with silver silouettes of 

a Sleigh full of Toys and secret gifts of promises kept 

Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night...

well well well, thank you, Pat.
you brought me back to my childhood....and those great fantasies of Santa being real...and Christmas being just like what you describe here...we had many white Christmases up north when i was young.
but i was such a dupe....even when i believed in Santa....we had no Chimney...

dear Jacob... Santa is only a person who we imagine... and believe to be possible in our heart. read moredear Jacob... Santa is only a person who we imagine... and believe to be possible in our heart.
However, Reindeer are really Cool. Have you seen the Movie "Prancer"? A must see... fun for adults and children... been out for a number of years. May your Christmas be warm and full of surprise presents.
truly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

Reindeers are real and can be found in the Movie entitled "Prancer"... a must see. truly, Pat

[jacob erin-cilberto]

one of you comments got cut off...i hate when the "read more" does not work...

[Patricia Wedel]

My Apple computer has a seed that annoys me.
I should put it in a Cherry Pie... the Apple that is.
I suppose the Geeks at Best Buy could figure it out, but who is at fault... it would take a Senate Hearing and a Judge from "the Court". politics is a strange bedfellow. ha ha

[Patricia Wedel]

And I am sober at Midnight. go figure. Pat

[jacob erin-cilberto]

it costs a million dollars just to have those Geeks come to the house to look at a computer...
ugh...

delightful Pat! your poem raises the child in me ... with that magical wonderment of Christmas Celebrations ... thanks so much for sharing .. clever play with birds of a feather says i! ;) Merry and blessed Christmas to you too Pat!
E.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear E... When we wear Sweaters, we may feel like
Birds with feathers. In fact, I may purchase a feather blanket... like in the olden days when people saved feathers and made their own feather blankets when homes were heated with Coal or wood in Wrought Iron Cook Stoves and Pot Belly Stoves... Thanks for your review. Merry Christmas to you and Norma. truly, Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

same to you Pat! and I may just keep me eye open for a fine Irish wool sweater ... haven't worn one since baby teens :)..........

[Patricia Wedel]

An Irish Wool Sweater for a discerning gentleman ... when Snow ❄️ covers your window pane and fire glows in colors of Christmas love... truly... Pat

love ya dahlink!

As I finish my first cup at 7 am, perusing my newsfeed for the first time, how could I NOT click on this poem first, with a title that feels irresistible? I love how you combine the indoor signs of the season, along with dynamic outdoor scamperings -- great details! I remember, in my youthful OCD, thinking every pitter-patter in the night must be those frisky reindeer dancing on the roof again! *wink! winK!* Fondly, Margie

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Margie... you are definitely a Snow Angel that adorns my Christmas tree. So charming to capture your attention with a Title of my poem.
My skills are a bit faded or jaded... but at least I know how to capture poets in a Title... at least in December when Snow is in the air and we listen for Sleigh Bells and sounds of Reindeer on our Roof Tops.
Feather blankets and dreams when we settle down for a long Winters Nap... when suddenly "the moon on the breast of the new fallen snow.. gave a lustre of mid-day to objects below, when what to my wandering eyes did appear, but a miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer"... Thank you Margie.. I am
really getting in a dither about Christmas. May your Yule log have colors of Joy and Noel. with love, Pat

[barleygirl]

A most delightful dither, I might add . . . *SMILE*

[redzone]

ahhh Patricia, all these childhood memories and for some of us remain intact still, why just last night I swear I heard Santa telling his elf workers there were only 17 days till liftoff, makes an old grinch bah humbug like me mellow and believe again... so what did you ask Santa for this year??? I asked for a big yellow Tanka dump truck, like the one my brother and I sat on and rode down the back ally way back when...

nicely written Patricia and Happy Holidays to you and yours...

[Patricia Wedel]

dear beloved poet... thank you for stopping by to sprinkle Stardust on 🎄
Christmas. It is a time of Noel blessings and Bells of love and Goodwill. My wish for Christmas this year is that there will be Peace this Christmas ... wrapped in Blue Paper with silver Ribbons that can be opened at the Senate trial before Christmas 🎄. Perhaps an Agreement that there are many decisions and Bills to be submitted in a Bi-Partisan fashion. Peace and Goodwill. Your Prayers are needed. truly, my friend... As ever, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Curt... Seriously, I will ask Santa for a bright Red Mustang... used, but not abused. truly, Pat

[S.zaynab.kamoonpury]

Wow for me this is a wonderful poetic exotic poem on Xmas sights and sounds, and no fire sides for us when the sun is baking us, that we don't usually see here where I live.. So kudos for capturing it for us so awesomely. Kudos for the great poem,

Pls pleez do review/ comment/ write your thoughts on my newest poem too.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Zaynab... the sights and sounds of Christmas 🎄 where there is a melancholy remembrance of all that is beautiful... kindness and giving... providing gifts of admiration. Thank you for leaving your review so warm at heart. truly, Pat

A very timely write, Pat, with Xmas on the horizon....

The way you described the season is reminiscent of the days of old when Xmas was truly full of spirit and the idea of giving to one and all, selflessly. Sadly today it seems have morphed into a consumerist nightmare with the true spirit and meaning of it increasingly being overlooked. One can always hope that Xmas will be as exciting as you have written.

A lovely write, Pat, and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Doodley... many Bright Red Cardinals have appeared at our Feeder... but you dear friend are the Brightest... always alert and hungry you leave with a satisfied mind... that could be a country song by Willie Nelson. Love it when you play a tune on your Guitar 🎸 with a smile that steals Christmas. Thank you for the beautiful lights of Christmas. truly, Pat

[AYVID N]

Your words are full of the magic and cheer of Christmas Eve. Indeed, this is what Christmas is truly about. All good things and the company of loved ones. So beautifully written...

[Patricia Wedel]

dear DIVYA... a charming review that warms my
spirits... hoping that the "Spirit" of Christmas touches the hearts of many this season of giving. Our country need to take a look at what is happening right before our eyes. All the sacrifices to make our Country strong and free... in Jeopardy. truly, Pat

[Davidgeo]

That last line... I'd get rid of "happy holidays" and replace it with "to all a good night". It wraps things up in a more phonetically and aesthetically pleasing manner I think... but I've been wrong before.

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Dave... I will do that now... I appreciate
your advice... Pat

[Davidgeo]

Don't forget the "to all" after the 'Merry Christmas'. "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night". Sorry for being a word Nazi, my advice is not so intellectually insightful tonight.

[Patricia Wedel]

It's the little things that matter... the mistletoe that got caught in the door... ouch! thanks for being generous and giving. truly, Pat
