“As Daddy said, life is 95 percent anticipation.” Gloria Swanson
Anticipation for the Daily Post
Lift-Off
With growing anticipation
Waiting to leave this station
Without any hesitation
Travelling across the nation
In one big celebration
But…
“What is the hold up?
We are ready for lift off!”

“Believe in love. Believe in magic. Hell, believe in Santa Claus.
Believe in others. Believe in yourself. Believe in your dreams.
If you don’t, who will?”
Jon Bon Jovi
A Visit to Santa Claus
The jolly Saint Nick
For some, Father Christmas
To others, Santa Claus
Call him what you will
You will always get your fill
Of happy thoughts and enjoyment
And possibly a nice payment
On Christmas Eve
If you only believe

All writers have this vague hope that the elves will come in the night and finish any stories”
Neil Gaiman
“Tonttu”
An elf is an elf
Of course of course
Not staying on the shelf
For sure, for sure
Come and join the circle
Even if you are a mere mortal
Tonight the elves are out
And about

“Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.
Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels.
Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.
Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.
Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.
Elves are terrific. They beget terror.
The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
No one ever said elves are nice.
Elves are bad.”
― Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies
Elves
“Tip tap tip tap tipe tipe tip tap”
The stars in the sky shining bright
No one knows where they tread
Dressed in white
Dressed in red
The Holiday Season is upon us
The Elves are all around us
Small or tall
They’re having a ball
Singing along
The holiday’s song
“Tip tap tip tap tipe tipe tip tap”

“Man, I really love Vegas”
Elvis Presley
Elvis has left the Konebuilding
Jingle bells a-rocking
Elvis comes a-knocking
Gold lamé suit
Dancing to no ones’ flute
A real cool dude
Definitely no prude
Rocking around
The Christmas tree
To a cool sound
And and impish glee
Twist and shout
No time to pout
The jingle bells
Put their spells
Now the rest of us
Mere mortals of dust
Jamming with the king
And wholehearted sing
But oh how time flies
Now it is time to say
Our fondest good byes
Flying back to the skies
“Ladies and Gents,
Elvis, has left the (Kone)building”

Athens, Acropolis, Greece
When it Athens
Do as the Athenians do;
Climb up the stairs
Pay a little fare
Gorgeous views
Will pay all dues

Helsinki Archipelago, Finland
The dream of every Finn
Especially,
When their patience is waring thin
Is go for a weekend spin
In a small boat,
To a very remote
Island, where there is no inn
Just the one small cabin

Astonished!

Travel around the globe
There is one thing, you can hope
To see that something, unique
That may even be shrouded, in mystique
