your words in your acrostic December work well to allow the reader to see and feel what December means to you

good imagery

good use "E" assonance

good use "S" "L" consonance

flows easy read

Nice acrostic dear Carolyn, you have nailed this one. One of the requirements of the good acrostic is to fill it with something akin to inspired revelation, and you have certainly done that here! Well done, the message for the season is clear and exactly with point by point presentation, well scribed. Blessings, Roy.

What a beautiful acrostic that describes December perfectly! I love the nativity scenes the best, although Christmas trees come close! I love all the lights and the goodwill...wished it lasted all year! This is great!

This a well written acrostic poem. You were able to describe what December month is all about. Pretty nice words used that makes one feel the occasion and the excitement is there to expect. In spite of this form, you deliver a consistent flow of thoughts that share the readers a total picture of the December. I enjoyed the read.Thanks for sharing.} Lin

Hi, Carolyn,

Great acrostic defining the holiday month of rejoicing and family. Love the artwork. Just need my cup of hot chocolate, with marshmallows for sure, and kick back in front of the fire. Yep, I'm so, there! (*,*)

Cheers & Blessings
Keep Smilin'... Jax (*,*)

    We have already done that a few times already. There is nothing that goes with a fireplace and family, like a good cup of hot chocolate to warm the night.
    Thanks so much Jax, glad you enjoyed December, I also appreciate all those stars.
    :-) Carolyn
