    T Tuesday: Christmas rhyme edition

    T Tuesday: Christmas rhyme edition | Halle's Hobbies

    T’was the Tuesday before Christmas and the day before break,

    my mind was a whirl with all I’ve yet to make.

     

    The presents are wrapped, all tied up in bows,

     the cookies are baked, but calories? Who knows

     

    The tree lights are twinkling and sweet treats abound,

    it really makes more sense when there’s snow on the ground.

     

    So I looked out the window, and what did I see?

    A dusting of snow! I squealed with glee.

     

    So funny how quickly my mood turned bright,

    and all it took was a light coat of white.

     

    Merry Christmas to all my family and friends,

    I bid you adieu as my rhyme has reached it’s end.

    Merry Christmas from Halle's Hobbies

    I’m not exactly sure why but I’m having a really hard time getting into the Christmas spirit this year. It could be that our Minnesota winter has yet to arrive. We’ve had temps well above freezing and even a thunder storm on Monday. Super strange.

    Last night and this morning we finally had a little bit of snow…very little. When I stepped outside this morning my first thought was “great…now it’s too cold to snow.”  If your not from around this neck of the woods that last statement doesn’t make a bit of sense. Too cold to snow!! Why yes, yes that is a thing that happens. I was right…the flurries didn’t start until it actually warmed up a little bit and didn’t last anytime at all. I’m pretty sure we will not be having a white Christmas.

    Since I’m feeling all Bah Humbug I thought it was a good time to share some postcards I made ages ago for a swap. I wish I had taken better or more high quality scans of these so long ago before passing them along.

    These were really fun. Perhaps this will get my snarky muse into gear as long as my regular one is either pouting under the Christmas tree or hibernating.

    **** Merry Christmas ****

    in case I don’t get another post up before then!!
