I have seen the pageview counts on ‘Mary’s Poem’. And, although I am
grateful that people still read what I write as an artist {especially after
being ‘The elusive Mary Lou’}, there were not any comments on that poem. Since
I have seen the pageview counts, I know that there is {to quote Bruce
Springsteen}, ‘anybody alive out there’,
Blogging Friends, Readers, and Followers!! So, we are going to play a little
one-question quiz!! Yes, it is Christmas-themed!! Question…. How many
members of The Beatles does it take to write a Christmas song? Answer? Three
out of four, apparently!! Who knew?! Can you name which members of The Beatles
wrote ‘Wonderful Christmastime’ that was recorded by Paul McCartney and Wings?
Yes, Google-searching its answer is absolutely allowed…. I had to!! Bonus
points if you already know how many members of The Beatles wrote ‘Wonderful
Christmastime’!! Leave your answers in my comments section!! One, two, three,
four…. Go!! Peace out, Mary Lou
P.S. For those who do not celebrate Christmas,
happy Hanukah, happy Winter Solstice, and happy Kwanzaa!!
Note…. ‘Let It Snow! Let
It Snow! Let It Snow!’. ‘Jingle Bells’. ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’. Question…. What
do those three Christmas songs all share in common? Answer…. Neither one of
them are about Christmas at all!! Am I right? Where are Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus in
those song lyrics? Nowhere!! Where are Santa Claus, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer,
Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolph in those song lyrics? Nowhere!!
‘Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!’, ‘Jingle Bells’, and ‘Baby, It’s Cold
Outside’ truly all three have to do with Winter, not Christmastime!! That being
mentioned? This week, I have decided to post a poem about snow!! Because, after
all…. Even the song, ‘Winter Wonderland’ has absolutely nothing to do with
Christmas!! This poem was composed during a historical arctic blast {aptly
named ‘Snowzilla’}, that occurred ten years ago…. When ‘it {did not} show signs
of stopping’, our cul-de-sac was literally snowed in for several weeks on end,
and we actually had a somewhat rare ‘White Christmas’!! Enjoy!!

Written by Me…. Edited by Kara Kent!!
Snowflakes begin as insignificant specks;
From clouds they flurry, to the grounds collect;
What an incredible concept, they’re individually made;
By our Creator’s Hands whose Eye for detail never fades;
Snowflakes fall through skies so great;
Wrapping nature in white once the accumulate.
