HOLIDAY FOR THE GINGERBREAD MAN...a poem for you and yours...
HOLIDAY FOR THE GINGERBREAD MAN
The gingerbread man was baked in a little oven
In a house full of merry
With all the traditional holiday stuffin
So excited was he on the counter top
He ran to find his home made of jelly drops.
Scurrying to red and green paths, so bright and airy
He came upon a decorated tree big and tall
Alas, alas that was not his home at all.
Riding the steel train round around the trunk,
Bells and whistles he clearly debunked
This too was not his home, he thunk.
Then, crossing the yuletide hearth
The gingerbread man braved terrains
Past those fiery logs with excitement and mirth.
“Yippee skippee, cheers to adventure!”
“Yet where oh where is my realm, to call my sugary domain?”
“Maybe I’ll find it in this red stocking fixture?”
Down and down he rummaged through the toys
To find a motorized plane made out to the neighborhood boys.
The gingerbread man took the challenge and deployed
Up and up he went to see a new vantage point.
Over the land of evergreen reefs, snow filled windows and presents
Was a joy to see in the corner of his raisin eye
The aromatic kitchen, a sweet smell that filled the sky.
From which he came, landing the jet on the counter top
Was that delicious cookied home of gummy drops.
Suddenly it all made sense…
The gingerbread man laughed with glee
As he realized you don’t have to run very far or flee
So may you look about, be aware and self compose
Your home may just be right under your frosting icing lil' nose
The gingerbread man walked through his cookie crumbly abode
Laying down to sleep, wishing everyone a holiday peace so bestowed.
To every ginger heart, Merry Christmas and a Happy start to 2011!
With love, happiness, success and health.
Yours truly,
Johanna

LAST YEAR'S HOLIDAY POEM
(December 2009)
Dear friends, family, colleagues and my worldly buddies,
"Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas," says Kris Kringle.
With a twitch of his eyes and while his little nose wrinkles.
Embarking on his yearly voyage and setting his course,
He reminds us that everyone should be kind and to rejoice.
Because 'tis the time of the year for charity and good cheers.
To remember your fellow man and wom-an alike
To cuddle your children and show them the glory of light
To smile and be friendly is what makes this holiday bright.
So nurture your friends and be jolly.
And enjoy the egg nog and the seasonal follies.
Tomorrow's the big day and all I have left to say...
Is Merry Christmas, and to all a good night.
Many x's and o's,
Johanna
Happy Hanukkah!
Frohe Weihnachten!!
!Feliz Navidad!
メリークリスマス
