I can't believe it's nearing the end of the year, darker nights drawn in and days are getting chilly.
Halloween tomorrow with all of its fun and all of its sorrow.
Lost souls walking upon our hallowed earth, searching for their way home.
We hang up lanterns to guide them on their way, decorate our houses inside and out, dress ourselves up to look like zombies and witches, bake pumpkin pie and hot dogs too.
Children calling, knocking, shouting trick or treat, hoping to be given some small sweets.
5 days later on November 5th we celebrate Guy Fawkes night,
Gun powder, treason and plot was the game that nearly saw James I go up in flames.
Now we celebrate fireworks day with bonfires a glow, jacket potatoes cooked on open fires cooked real slow.
Fireworks displays aplenty safer than at home, bundle your children up warm its going to be a late night.
Once these dates are over it really is clear Christmas is just around the corner, same as the end of year.
Let's make what's left count, have a happy end of year people.
As I say in the title this is number 50 and i just wanted to get it done, then it's done,never to be done again, not my best but hey it's done now.
Also in the title i refer to the dreaded word Christmas is it too soon, i don't know, all i know is that i have 8 celebrations before Christmas Day, 5 in one week before the end of November, so i usually delay Christmas shopping untill all the birthdays are done but this year ive started early and bought my first Christmas present, don't know why i just saw it and knew immediately who it would be good for so seemed the right thing to do, anyway whatever your take whether its early or not i hope you enjoy the poem and my mad ramblings he! he!
