Ultreya!

The season of Advent draws to a close. The Solstice has come and gone. Whether in summer or winter, Christmas arrives this Tuesday!

Wrap those presents! Trim that tree! Put on those ugly sweaters and smile as yet another fruitcake appears!

Above all, rejoice! “The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it!”

This week, write the haikai poem of your choice (haiku, senryu, haibun, tanka, haiga, renga, etc.) that states or references Christmas.

As always:

Hereโ€™s how the challenge works:

1. write the haikai poem of your choice.
2. post the link of your post to Mister Linky.
3. pingback by posting the link to the challenge on your site.
4. read and comment on other contributorsโ€™ posts.

Merry Christmas, haijin!

    No Mr. Linky?

    One year a relative made a two headed sweater of red and white… only half way finished… I don’t even think I have a photo any more. But I unraveled the yarn and finally have almost used it all up for odd crocheted scarves that I gift. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Happy holidays all here’s some haiku:

      Mister Linky appears in Google Chrome. It didn’t show in the IOS WP app. I have no idea why. Thanks for the heads up.

        Computers… WP probably made some more unnecessary changes. I work from my WP dashboard most of the time. But I go to WP sites… I’ve been avoiding the latest WP editor update. Computer program changes are not my friends…

        We work with what we have – cheers!

        You can still add your link. Just click the blank, or that tiny square that looks like a failed photo upload.
