It’s That “Poem Before Christmas” Bit
Seasons Greetings! Can’t believe it’s time again to close out the year with my traditional haphazard poem! It’s an account of as many events as I can fit in (and with all their feels…), meant to be read in the style of ’Twas the Night Before Christmas. So, no more prose – here it goes! […]
