Twas the night before Linky Party
And all through the Blog
Feral Turtle was typing
strung out on egg nog
Dreaming of packages
Tied up with strings
Turtle drank spirits
Spying wonderful things.
When what to my rum laden eyes should appear
But a beautiful post card
with musical cheer.
With letters of joy and a shiny red D
A wish bone of plenty to wipe up spilt tea (liquor)
Now cards and tags and a beautiful bag
On birds with cones that don't even sag
To the top of the tree with a bottle of rum
A new friend on the blogs has already begun!
Thanks to Kimberley for all of my beautiful new treasures
and thanks to Vicky for all of her hard work!

P.S. No booze was consumed in the making of this post...I swear, not a drop!
Cheers!
Linking up with Vicky and friends at

ReplyDeleteLove the sweet gifts you received. Have a great weekend my funny friend!
You are "oh so clever" with words, My Dear! I'd say you are very deserving of those lovely gifts, and what a fun party y'all (I was born and raised in the South, so I feel the need to throw this term around once in a while...lol) had!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Karen, for the sweet package that arrived in the mail yesterday. Not at all surprised to find a "spidey" in the package, but fortunately, she had not started snacking on that yummy-smelling soap! Thanks again!
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteYou have some mad rhyming skills...I loved your ditty!!
Mmm, eggnog! ;)
Glad that you liked everything...you were a tough nut to crack since I didn't have a 'wish list' to go by! But I put my Canadian thinking cap on and winged it! ;)
So happy to have made a new friend!!
Hugs to you and have a wonderful Christmas!!
Kimberley
