A Terrible Christmas Poem, to serve as your card

 It's the Time to Christmas

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Twas several weeks before Christmas, 
when all through the townhouse...

Living room

The extra table was for Thanksgiving.

Hall of Morocco pictures

Not an ornament was hangin', 
nor from Muffin, a mouse.

Guest/cat bedroom

My bedroom

Obviously...the bathroom.

Future tree was just chillin' 
in its Caldera pen

Valles Grande Caldera

I journey to get it,
 and snatched it right then.

I nestled my pretties 
all snug in our tree

While Muffin snoozed on, glaring

"Don't 'cha try 'n wake me."

Faraday the Magnificent

Adding the Dalek (my mini-Who-tree)
And bordering-on-crazy-cat-lady-but-I-swear-I-didn’t-buy-the-new-one frame

ILLUMINAAATE!

I painted the one on the left...aunts gave me the one on the right

I still have better taste than the neighbor we blame.

Seriously??

When out in the town 
there arose such events!

Los Alamos Winter Parade

A parade, twinkly lights, luminarias--
we were pretty much spent!

Ashley (Pond) Pond

North Mesa Stables Luminaria Walk

 Then along came some snowflakes 
to slow us all down

Powdery hikes, fluffy trees
a welcome break from desert brown!

Here's to one last day of cleaning, 
wrapping, and shopping,

Before down to Albuquerque 
I must be hopping.

The family is coming 
for Christmas with ME!

Oh joyful day--
we'll all sing with glee!

May you all boldly go 
where you've never gone before,

My geek-haven home office

 Spending time--wibbly or wobbly--
with family and more.

More office--note the Star Trek stein

EXTERMINATE your worries and 
CELEBRATE Jesus' birth!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, 

AND TO ALL LOTS OF MIRTH.

LOVE!
