Happy Holidays

A community center Christmas tree

By Denise E LindquistPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

It is huge and colorful and my photography does not do it justice! It is that time of year when many drive around to see the decorations. There are not as many decorations as there were when living in the city. That is okay, as every once in a while there is a standout and this was one of those!

Oh Christmas tree, how

lovely are your bows

Oh dear Christmas tree

how lovely you are to see

Oh Christmas tree we

sing and admire you

on the twenty-third

as Denise and John

celebrate this day

recent anniversary

twenty years this twenty-third

we will have a party on

yes, our special twenty-fifth

anniversary, we ate

at Country Kitchen last night

and sang oh Christmas tree right

after. So much fun for us

old ones. We would forget to

tell everyone where we went

It was okay though,

as it was the best.

The card that is always there

The best of the best

from my love, and then

there was no money

in the card, my honey

loves me, that is clear

With luck, there will be lots more!

The money went for a dishwasher

the old one gave out

it is done! Honey,

Christmas trees and anniversaries!

We are both happy

with each other and

our brand-new black dishwasher!
