Christmas Challenge: Angel

Welcome to day 19 of our 2017 Christmas Challenge. The prompt for today is angel.

I invite you to join in on the challenge at any time. Have a great Christmas season!

[Begin scene]

A special message, you have to tell,

To men of every worth…

A message sent to make men well,

Announce the Christ child’s birth…

So great a song that you now sing,

Dear Angel in the sky…

About his birth, the gift he brings,

That men no more shall die.

Christmas Challenge: Santa

Welcome to day 18 of our 2017 Christmas Challenge! The prompt for today is Santa. Feel free to join in at any time!

[Begin scene]

Santa tried on so many suits,

A search for his best color….

Something that accents his boots,

A match just like no other….

A coat that’s blue, a vibrant hue,

But for him it would not do…

He tried on green, like a lima bean,

In that he’d not like to be seen…

Next up came yellow, he let out a bellow,

Something else for this portly fellow…

But once in red, from his toes to his head,

He knew he had found his best threads!
