Renhai Reflections 60: Festive Expectations
Festive Expectations
A Renhai by John Daleiden (jd) & Vaughn Seward (vs)
Our last delivery
this quiet festive eve —
hugs and cheer. /vs
Coal and ash for our stockings — /jd
stomach in knots all night. /vs
An empty cookie plate
near the tree and wrap —
Christmas Morning. /jd

I love this.
We used to worry about an onion or rotten potato in our stocking :)
Well done. Season's Greetings to you both.
wow! one way of looking at it. :)
Sensed a lack of festivity, Masago
liked the first one and the last one --like going back to the good old times...
wishes,
devika
another one that pierced my memories.
(althouh I never did get any ashes in our stockings...but certainly deserved it)
Thank you all (to all those that deserved it and didn't get ashes, coal, onions or rotten potatoes)... :-)
Devika, sorry to hear the lack of festivity at your end. Maybe it is the global warming, or the economic melt-down, or the political turmoil in many places... In any event, season greetings. :-)
Having grown up behind the Berlin Wall so to say, I still have some problems relating to this one - a cultural gap of sorts: the hero of my youth was called Grandpa Cold (Dedek Mraz)!?:)
This series really capture those moments - one step closer than your last ones. Although I've read these after the big day they bring back the memories.
