Traditional X-mas (one)

“Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind.
To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy,
is to have the real spirit of Christmas”
Calvin Coolidge

Porridge

Rice in porridge?
Sounds completely foreign!
But for us Finns
Add some milk, sugar and cinnamon
And you got a win!

Angels and Elves

Angels and elves:
Where do they dwell?
Filling the shelves
Putting on spells
Ringing the holiday bells
Letting us know
All is now well

Happy Holidays and A Very Merry Xmas to One and All!

“How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before its afternoon.
December is here before it’s June. My goodness how the time has flown.
How did it get so late so soon?”
Dr. Seuss

Happy Holidays and A Very Merry Xmas to One and All!

‘Twas the night before Christmas
Nothing stirred,
No sound was heard
No human, nor animal, in sight
Even the mice had taken flight
The only ones about their business
Were the little green men from Mars
They had to be really careful
Their nature a little bit fearful
For the holidays not to turn into a farce
It was their turn to spread wholly
Presents and a great amounts of jolly

In a mighty hurry
No time for blurry
Their sleigh filled
Up to the hilt
As it took off
With a big bang
And a huge puff
As they all sang
The yuletide carols
As they rolled off

Children and grown-ups
Getting lots of stuff
As the little green men
Working collectively
Their derrières off in zen
As the Xmas spirit
Now duly delivered
All around the world
At least,
That is what we heard
