  • Spirit of Christmas

    Dec 20, 2023

    Spirit of Christmas by Lorraine Seaford Phillips County, Mont. The calendar says it is Christmas. It's cold, and there's snow on the ground. The carolers sing and church bells do ring. Why doesn't my heart respond? A part of the picture is missing, Though the presents and Santa are here. Then why are the colors so faded? The music so flat to my ear? What is it I need but can't locate? What's wrong with my spirit this year? The inward turned ice of depression, Keeps me from all holiday cheer. I've dutifully baked and gone shopping. I've wrapped...

    It stood there, in the clear. Not a soul was near, it showed no fear. As it wiggled its ear, the face made a sneer. There in his eye was a tear, almost a blear, yet no one knew how he got here, for he had no gear. Confused, onlookers knew there was no pier nor weir anywhere near; from where did the deer appear? He was of good cheer, as though he'd had a beer, but it was clear as he made a jeer, he'd avoid any spear that came near. He sauntered along in low gear, his head swiveling as if it was...

It’s an endless list that keeps growing. But since the first of September, my w...
