The winner of our eighth annual Mosaic Musings Holiday Classic has been chosen! A special goes out to our judges Bev (Peterpan), Wally (Thoth), Snow (Eisa), Sylvia (Psyche) and myself. They were tasked with choosing 3 of the submissions they felt best represented the season, allocating 3 points for their top nod, two for second and one for third. The winning submission received 14 points awarded out of a possible 30, taking in 47% of the total - FANTABULOUS results!
CONGRATULATIONS to Larry for his winning entry, "A Star" in our eighth annual Mosaic Musings Holiday Classic! May your holidays always be memorable ...

A Star
The firelight from the hearth reflects on tinseled tree aglitter with small twinkling ornaments. Projects the essence of a garnered myth which lends no grace; no love or peace to those in need, without a prayer. No rescue from the cold, surcease from widened need to give and share.
As choirs sing carols in the night of precious babe, a star and kings; a weeping mother knows the plight of starving child. Her vigil brings no solace. Tears, her visage mar, illuminated by a star.
WELL DONE LARRY! HAPPY HOLIDAYS ALL THE YEAR THROUGH!

Live one day at a time -it's simpler that way. Laugh loud & often - it's medicinal. Write from the heart - it's therapeutic. Beauty comes from within - the outer is just skin!
