I take this opportunity
Wishes sent your way
To wish you and yours
Merry Christmas,
Happy New Year every day
May your thoughts and dreams come true
May Christmas be kind to you
Sing sing Noel Noel 🎶
Feel the clang of the Christmas bell
From the first Noel
To the last
From Christmas present and past
May you be filled with the joy, Noel
All year may your Christmas Joy last

Author’s Note: Noel is from Latin, natus, where we get the nativity, meaning “birth,” and the French used it over time to exclusively mean the birth of Jesus, The First Noel; The First Born of God.
MY GIFT
My gift to you this year is over 300 photo poems and rhyming prose on my website tenbrunsel.com and in the three books and ebooks (Picture This, Walk With Me, Ashes to Appalachia), I published this year for you. The books were published as a part of my commitment as Carl Sandburg Writer 2023. My niche is photo poetry, much like poetry put to music or the artists creation placed on canvas. Each of my poems tells a story with rhyme and rhythm, meant to impart thought, emotion and entertainment to touch the soul of you, the reader. My wish is that you be "left with a tear or a giggle, you may find yourself making mental note of the life-lesson treasures embedded in my rhythmic lines. Get comfy and be ready to be entertained." Unwrap my gifts to you, pray and enjoy what you may find there.
I’ll see you next year, “Ho! Ho! Ho!”
