Before I announce the winner I would just like to say thank you to everyone who participated. You guys really did what I asked and engaged with one another in the comment section. I literally just sat here smiling while reading all the comments on one another’s posts. So thank you for being a part of this blogmas community this December!

Now, to the contest!

There were many great submissions but my top three included:

3. McGee Travel Tale’s “Hot Chocolate” recipe! Because who doesn’t love hot chocolate?

2. Ivor’s “My Lost Sock, A Christmas Story.” Because it brings together harsh reality and light-hearted whimsy!

That mean the winner is . . .

Dorinda Duclos from Night Owl Poetry!

My footsteps, impressions, a story in rhyme

Water below me, frozen in time

Mirrored reflections, covered in snow

Over the bridge, back home I shall go

Where winter has left its mark on my soul

Dusted, with memories, from my evening stroll

It’s the beginning of a new month and you know what that means!!  Poet’s choice!  I chose the words Christmas and Flashback.  Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!

Written as an Etheree, my synonyms are Yuletide and Memories.


The
Yuletide
Spirit shines
Glows in our hearts
Brings us warmth within
Our home, filled to the brim
With love, family gathers
Exchanging hugs instead of gifts
Relating stories of days long past
Memories to share for generations

She recalls the past, so very clearly
Dates and times on which they’d occur
Memories are all she has, kept close
But this day, with me, is simply a blur

She laughs, about times, of long ago
Recalls moments, when life was hard
Until reality greets her, once again
And quickly, she puts up her guard

Refusing to let go, of all she holds dear
Oh, how she wants these moments to last
But I watch, as the days slip by, quicker now
As she stares, out the windows, of the past

Our memories are open portals to the past

Tidbits of our lives, kept in a photo book

How we long to go back to those yesterdays

Then we remember, all we need do, is look
