A Chickadee on Christmas Eve

A lonely Chickadee nestled in a Tall Balsam Pine 

as the Smoke from the Chimney floated by... 

Soft snowflakes settled on evergreen boughs...  

remembering when Reindeer would fly up to 

the Roof Top and Stop to Drop presents down 

the Chimney as Santa dressed in a Red Suit with whiskers 

rose Up the Chimney... and shouted, "Now Prancer and Dancer--

Away over the Milky Way... don't Delay as Children will awake 

on Christmas Morn... excited to open presents under the Tree 

with a warm Puppy by their side and MistleToe moments  to 

Remember in December... Merry Christmas to All and 

to All a Good and Happy New Year..

My dear Pat, I don't know how I missed this lovely Christmas poem, but so pleased I found it and so early in the new year that it is still OK to say a very happy new year to you and your loved ones. Your poems are always so uplifting my dear friend.

dearest Chris… so special to read your Review.. We had a Gorgeous 12 inches of huge fluffy Snowflakes fall for an entire four hours or so a few days ago.. we were Snowbound for a day or so. Somehow our neighbors dug out a Path and we took Roger to dialysis timely enough. Thank goodness it did not Snow more so far as of today Friday. Roger has dialysis every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday normally. He is doing well with routine Maintenance on his Fistula. It is a Way of Life. Praise the Lord. Hope your New Year is Prosperous and you are Safe and well. 💗 love across the Waves.. gently, Pat 🙏

I bet the snow was beautiful to look at. We have had cold biting winds here but none of the white stuff yet. Thank goodness for helpful, considerate neighbours. Good you have them Pat when it is essential to leave home in bad weather conditions. Thinking about you both and sending love across the waves.

The innocence of youth, the beauty of Christmas. So wonderfully pictured here. My first read from you, but not my last. Thank you for this moment of beauty.

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Annette… it seems the Seasons are windswept with snow and shadows of Dreams… Be safe and well… as can be. tenderly, Pat

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

so true and poetic dear Pat...

[Patricia]

A lovely Christmas poem and fun! As always your poetry is a pleasure to read!

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you Patricia... we must be Birds of a feather...
through all the Seasons... I always wonder how Birds survive without a comfy home. I try to feed the Birds that stop by... they are so precious. Of course the Squirrels and Crows can be a pest, so I put out Peanuts in the Shell to divert their attention. I have to wait a few days in between feedings or the Birds would never go to other Feeders. Birds seem to be little Angels. gently, Pat

[Patricia]

I find the crows and ravens interesting but yes pesky things that may be to smart for some people. Squirrels are hilarious especially when they have eaten too much fermented fruit in the fall. I am a hummingbird lover. I bring in flowers to attract them every year and with them come the butterflies, it's a win win. ;)

[Patricia Wedel]

I love Hummers also.. and 🦋 Butterflies to pollinate and create beautiful flowers with the power of persuasion … Amen and 💕 love… gently, Pat

[Gee]

How Christmas should be always...
Happy Christmas to You Patricia

dearest Gee... lovely to have a Name, Gee, that rhymes with Bee and Tree and Thee and Key, etc. read moredearest Gee... lovely to have a Name, Gee, that rhymes with Bee and Tree and Thee and Key, etc.
We will always have Christmas in every Country... as long as we have Colorful Birds to sing our Favorite Tunes of "Away in a Manger... no place for a Bed,, the little Lord Jesus laid down his Sweet Head, One of my favorite Christmas songs that is fairly New is: "Mary, did you Know". It encompasses so much to inspire everyone to be more than we can be. Amazing Grace.

Happy New Year Gee and family... Be safe and healthy... and Blessed. gently, Pat

Hi Patricia, I wish you and yours a hapoy, healthy new year

[jacob erin-cilberto]

that Chickadee had a front row seat.
I have a fake fireplace...and Santa got stuck coming down the chimney...poor guy.'
And then my cat kept trying to lick his beard.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Jacob... we need more humor to survive the unbelievable. I was picturing your "fake" fireplace and then I saw your Cat licking the Sugar cookies icing off Santa's face. We are blessed again this year to have a Squirrel in our "real" Fireplace. We had a serious Fire where we lived for 17 yrs in November of 2017 on a Sunday morning... an "electric fire" that quickly went through our one story Cottage and even tho' two Fire Companies came out it was hot black ashes by four pm. Now, in our two-story home built in 1988, we never use our Fireplace Ever-- as there are Tall Old Pines around the side where the Fireplace resides. I still write bout Fireside Chats and Rendevouz secrets; however Santa would not want to use our Chimney where Squirrels come and go. We are babysitting my daughter's wee Puppy Dog (4 yrs old) (orphan "Annie")... who is sleeping on Christmas Eve in our Sleigh Bed. I am Cruising our Poem site at two pm in a Big reclining Chair by the Sleigh Bed... way up high on the 2nd floor where Santa's Sleigh may just "drop some Toys. An exciting Story that is not Fiction. May your Dreams be a "Good Omen" for the New Year. gently, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

Of course it was two AM in the Morning, but still a part of Christmas Eve as Santa flew around the World.. or so the Legend Lives On… gently, Pat

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Merry Christmas Patricia. May it be filled with love,

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Dale... your review is like softly falling Snow where the light of the silvery Moon leaves love and blessings for Christmas Day. Hope you have some Figgy pudding on Christmas Day. gently, Pat

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Merry Christmas my dear fellow poet.

[lightsong]

Merry Christmas to You too our loveliest Pat✨❄️✨ may your heart always sing with gentle words and joyous love ❤️

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Song... Sleeping in a Sleigh Bed on Christmas Night... way up High where the Tall Pine Trees are a Bed of Limbs for Chickaees and every Nationality of our Feathered Friends. I hear the "Prancing of each little Hoof as Reindeer named Comet and Cupid and Donnor and Blitzen-- to name a few... are flying in a Supersonic Sleigh by a Santa that gets confused like our President... so we may have a stock market Crash on Christmas Eve with Portfolios flying in the Breeze with freezing Assets for the New Year. Our tears and fears soothed by the Song... Silent Night, Holy Night. Be blessed with Good Cheer. tenderly, Pat

[lightsong]

"Santa that gets confused like our President." You and your sweet sense of humor :> You put such a smile on my face this morning~ Please, say a Hi to all of your friends up there an a very Merry Christmas from me ✨

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Song... Humor is Heavenly... where Angels sing with Harps of Gold... and every Nation will come together with Resources to care for the Young and the Old and all the families in-between. The Heather in the Summer will linger all year long with our Poet Lightsong as a Gentle Composer of Healing and Love,
tenderly, Pat

[lightsong]

Love You gentlest Pat~ may your heart always be touched with this kind of graceful love❤️
