Festive Season Collection by Palvinka

O Christmas Tree

Journaling reads:

Your majestic beauty
Brings such joy to our home
No prettier tree could be found
No matter how far we’d roam

The baubles and lights do twinkle
And some ornaments are quite old
You sparkle and shine so brightly
Your warmth banishes the cold

Adapted from, Ode to a Christmas Tree by George L. Thomas

Winter

Journaling:

In the bleak midwinter

frosty wind made moan,

earth stood hard as iron,

water like a stone:

snow had fallen,

snow on snow, 

snow on snow,

in the bleak midwinter,

long ago.

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

BY ROBERT FROST

Whose woods these are I think I know.   

His house is in the village though;   

He will not see me stopping here   

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

December Days

Journaling reads:  December days can be cold and grey.  Today was one such day as we had errands to run.  12/16/24
A foggy day, the dampness clings,
The cold seeps in to abuse the bones.
A soggy day, a rain’s shower rings
With music filled with many tones.
Ernestine Northover

Joys of the Season

Oh! Christmas wreath upon the wall, 
’Neath memory’s tender spell 
A wondrous charm doth o’er thee fall, 
And round thy beauty dwell.
— Anna de Brémont (1864-1922)

I blended one of the messy papers into a black paper to get the gray paper.  I love this template of hers!  It's hard to tell, but the 2 white brushes in the corners are dogs playing with a ball.
