Quadrille #142 
to write the '44 word poem' using any form of the word tinsel

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS LORE
Adorned the Christmas tree
Tinseled and sparkly
Awaits the oohs and aaws
A Christmas morning cause

Adorned the Christmas tree
Decked so magically she
Is ready for the night before
The eve like days of yore 

To dance for Santa
A jolly little rhumba

Chapter 1. Cinnanmon Sticks

tinsel and baubles -
the sound of paper tearing
between giggles

And so it is, that rainy morning, the spidery Anansi, awakes to eight arms full of his two anansi children, tugging at him from every direction; pleading with him to come downstairs, to open a gift under the Christmas tree.[excerpt from Anansi An Unusual Experience by Gillena Cox]

    The only time our tree ever danced a rhumba was when the cat climbed it :)

    I envy you your holiday spirit. I still see the Madison Avenue tinsel, and forget about the reason for the season; my bad.
