Merry Christmas
Come one come all
Watch the snow fall
Sit by the warm blaze
And set your gaze

To see the soft flakes
Make soft white lakes

And set a mistletoe
Why I'm sure you know

For these are a couple ways
To make it a Happy Holidays

<< A Snowflake Love Story >>

Once Upon A Time, in a wonderfully wintery village, lived a little boy with his mother. These two were poor, eating only bread and soup on their hardest working days. Every day was a long day, sweat dripping down their backs and temples. And in the evening they would rest, praying for a warm fire to nestle up by. Night after night, they nibbled on their bread and did chores for their neighbors to earn a few extra dollars.

There was a night in this wintery village, where this young boy woke at midnight. The candles had all gone out, and a cool breeze ran through their house, soaking up all of the heat they had acquired for their rest. This little boy shook gently on his mother's shoulders, searching for a response in her soft, aging face. Nothing came of it.

Curious as he was, he decided to venture outside. A storm was catching up with them, and their blankets would not do justice for them at this point. Darkened clouds greeted him in near silence. A light scent of dust clung to the air. Trees shook in their vigorous strength. And still, the boy was not frightened.

The cold air left him in tremors, absolutely frozen in his skin. Frost formed on his reddened nose. He looked up, all around him, just exploring with his deep blue eyes. He had seen the ocean. He had seen the fair. He had even been lucky enough to ride an elephant. But he had never seen something as this. (Read on . . .)

*pounces* HELOOOOOO!!

I'm allowed to post, right? >.>

Yeah you can post =) just setting it up while being distracted =3

Poet: YAY!!! I am the officially, fist poster!! *does the first poster dance* :'D

=) grats... you seem to be first posting all over the place I saw

Poet: Yes, I have been visiting a bunch of threads and seeing if they would be my perfect hangout/home...But the problem is, is that this will (or whatever thread I pick) only be my home until January 2. :( And I can't find a thread that is suitable for my home.

Just popping in to leave my mark. -rubs on thread-
Ok. I have to finish getting things ready.

Thanks for visiting you two :3 we have company over so excuse us but we are sure to pop our head in and check in when we can. Have you two met each other?

Why only until January 2nd? If you pick this one, it's spawned from our original hangout (Happily Ever After) so you could just switch over there ^^ we'd love to have ya around to chat

Chyaaa, for realsies. ahaha. ;D

Where is everybody? :( Come on and celebrate with us.

If it feels awkward to post just say something you like... like a food or what you want for X-mas

Part Two of A Snowflake Love Story

Around his head, just falling on his face and his eager fingers, were thousands of sparkling snowflakes. Some were large; some were small. All of them were beautiful. As they fell, they made a blanket around his feet. He just caught them, just caught them and laughed.

In the moonlight, nothing had ever looked so luminous, so graceful. And yet they were. The boy danced around, embracing the happiness within him. Then finally there it was.

(TBC)

Morning everyone =3

Hello ^^ hmm wanna link to this thread in the main one? lol. And maybe we could tell a few more people x3

Guess I can repost now to revive the thread... been quite a while... anyone care for a chat?

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a merry Christmas. :)

We got pretty good gifts this year ^^ and wonderful company and food :33

How about you?

Oh ok. Neato. :p
Good here too. Mainly just being lazy around the house. We went out to the mall and other stores today and yesterday. So yeah.. Just chilling, mostly.

Sounds fun =)

Strange says: How cold is it? It apparently snowed last night over here to everyone's surprise. And it stopped for a while but I think it picked up again.
I R sick. x.x It's hard to eat but Kaze here is taking good care of me and I'm starting to feel better. *warms up by the heater* brr

Relaxing is nice. :)

Hmm.. I think it's in the high 60s or something like that. It's warming up each day. I think it's going to rain when we head back home though. Aww, hope you feel better!
