Christmas Challenge: Manger

Welcome to the 15th day of our 2017 Christmas Challenge. The prompt for today is manger.

[Begin scene]

Meager manger full of hay,

A soft place for our Lord to lay,

He didn’t have the longest stay,

Yet lived his life to pave the way.

With this I am so glad to say,

We’ll be with him and God some day.

Christmas Challenge: Snowflake

Welcome to day 14 of our 2017 Christmas Challenge, I apologize for it coming a day late. The prompt is snowflake.

[Begin scene]

It is that time of year,
For those of us up north…

To hunker down inside,
As snowflakes do come forth…

Unique in shape and size,
Is every little flake…

And to our hungry eyes,
A pretty scene they make.

[Begin scene]

As shepherds tend their flock,
Unto them comes a shock…

The angels take to song,
Voicing joy all night long…

Be not afraid, ye men,
Peace this night is given…

In a manger him you’ll find,
This gift to all mankind.

Scene – Christmas Challenge: Rudolph

Welcome to Day 12 of our 2017 Christmas Challenge. The prompt for today is Rudolph. Just click on the link for steps to join in on the challenge fun!

[Begin scene]

A quiet night, snow falling lightly to the ground…

The faint sound of sleigh bells jingling overhead, almost lost among the snowflakes…

A bright red light, leading the team of reindeer as they pull the sleigh across the sky…

The light, known to be Rudolph’s nose, casting a red hue all about…

A memory of a flight of past years, soon to be repeated this coming Christmas Eve.

#Believe!
