Zodiac Cat ~ A Christmas Poem

Celebrate the holidays with a whimsical poem  that blends astrology with feline chaos, perfect for any cat lover. The twelve signs gather 'round the tree, To see what Santa Paws will see. But cats don't care for mystic signs, They only care for tinsel lines! Aries starts the midnight fight, Attacking baubles left and right. Taurus sleeps beneath the bough, And wakes to demand his dinner now. Gemini dashes through the halls, Knocking stockings off the walls. Cancer cuddles by the fire, Watching the flames grow ever higher. Leo climbs the spruce so grand, The brightest star in all the land. Virgo grooms their paws so neat, And leaves hairballs right at your feet. Libra weighs the glass tree balls, Then bats them 'til they crash and fall. Scorpio hides inside a box, And ambushes your knitted socks. Sagittarius yowls into the night, Batting the lights that sparkle bright. Capricorn gives the famous glare, Staring down from Santa's chair. Aquarius chews the floral plants, While Pisces does a sleepy dance. No matter which sign they are told, They're rulers of the household! zodiac kitty ornaments by kittensgivestitches Thanks For Visiting

The Innkeepers Wife

How could this be for a babe to be born, Where the animals feed and it's not even warm? I begged and I pleaded, yet not a person was swayed To give up a room for the poor little babe. So there he now lays, this poor little stranger, Swaddled in cloths and laid in a manger. And his sweet mother Mary… you should see her kind face… A woman serene and so full of grace! The shepherds that came in the black of the night-- On their lips was the name of the cute little sprite… They called him Blessed Redeemer…Emmanuel- And wonderful tidings they continue to tell! Heavenly angels and a bright guiding star, Came from the East to where we are now, It shines a bright path for wayfaring men, To the dearest and best of all Bethlehem… I will wonder and ponder this strangest event, For I, too believe this babes heaven sent… The Messiah and Savior in my feeding trough? Somehow… I know…he'll be enough! Full Page Greeting | SpiritIsUp Thanks For Visiting
