The Saturday before Christmas and the malls were jam packed.
The traffic was worse, a headache I had.
The words were not rolling, the air had a chill,
the pumpkin risotto would hopefully give cheer.
I in my "house clothes" and Mr W in his too,
had just settled down for an evening of the tube.
When what to my wandering eyes did appear?
But new books by authors I truly hold dear!
Oh what joy did fill my soul as I perused the Kindle Fire achive and behold!
Friends old and new, dear and not quite,
but words that held meaning to someone this night.
Books have been friends, for years untold,
and my TBR is too high to behold!
But just as I flicked to turn the page anew,
I wished I could share the love I hold true.
So to all who will see, and all who already know,
books are a gift that last and bring Joy!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all Happy Holidays!
