Hi all.
 Since I am ineligible to post for this contest, I just wanted to start the snowball  rolling with these pieces...Again - my posts do NOT count - only want to share the spirit of the season with our members and readers.      (Holiday) Potpourri Scents entice; simmered holiday spice caramel, chocolate drizzled glaze nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger: powdered-sugar craze savory ciders, scintillating sweets amaze dollops of fresh whipped cream jubilee mouth-watering decree potpourri © Lorraine M Kanter 24 Nov 2005 Traditions Marketplace adorned in powdered lace windows welcome wide-eyed young and old to join the warmth, partake of season’s festive hold where small town merriment and heritage unfold melodic spirited renditions Winter’s compositions Traditions © Lorraine M Kanter 13 Nov 2005 Christmas Tree Light glimmers; silver tinsel shimmers serenading ornamental shades of a satin emerald and ruby parade mingling with silhouettes of aged crystal cascade Snowmen, Pixies and Angels to see Atop the wise men three… Christmas Tree © 2005 Lorraine M Kanter Nature's King
The firs rise touching star-twinkled skies standing vigil o’er evening’s glow wrapped in sparkling charms of glitter gold, ashen snow embraces kisses of crimson berries below where silvery cherubs dance and sing …symbols of joy to bring Nature’s King. © 2005 Lorraine M Kanter ·······  ·······"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.

WOW Lori! The scents, warmth, delicious temptations... I can't wait until Christmas! I can feel the closeness, hear the laughter, the bells chiming in the distance... *smiles*
 Too bad Christmas doesn't last all year 'round!  A wonderful quad describing the season! Cathy |

Hello Lori~
Thanks for this encouragement! I am having problems getting into the groove. I have tried a few times... Although, this year, unlike last year (a hot and green Christmas) we will be having a white Christmas! We are going to Leysin to Bjorn for Christmas and New Year! Such excitement. He has been away from home for two Christmas'! :( pp ······· ······· |

Me too! We went into Macy's yesterday and they already had the store all decked out! Sheesh!  Peter tells me they deco'd it before Halloween!  Yes, not so much for the 'material' aspect of the holiday, but I agree that I wish the 'spirit', the sharing of familiy traditions, the warmth I feel could last all year. It's a shame it doesn't. When you take out the 'gift giving materialistic aspect' and think of the 'visiting, helping those less fortunate and enjoying company' aspects, it would be so wonderful to experience year 'round. That is a true gift. Thanks for your visit. Hope you'll post a few too Cathy!  Ho Ho Ho! ~Cleo

You've captured a ray of light in each one and it shines through! Beautiful work!

How truly beautiful these are. You've given them a holiday look as well as a poetic message. I'm doing good to think of an original concept that hasn't been done repeatedly.....~laugh~ How very talented you are. Wish you could compete here.
