Holiday Season Mood & Preparation
Holiday Mood Poetry
I can feel the holiday season mood, everywhere I go. The spirits are high. Green and red ornaments are everywhere I look. Kids are stocking up their stock. The streets are filled with running kids. Everyone is ready for the upcoming holiday. So I went to the attic, grabbing the box filled with trinkets and ornaments and begin with the task, with a cup of hot.
As I hang up mistletoe & lights,
I struggle to untangle knotted sights.
Wrapping presents with tape & cheers,
Just hoping it won't take me all year!
With a tree that's crooked and lights that won't glow,
I'm starting to wonder if I even know
How to prepare for the holiday season,
But hey, at least there's plenty of hot cocoa for good reason!
I think I better put it off till tomorrow. To stock up and upgrade myself because today it all seens like a hopeless case. Putting everything back I now relax on the sofa enjoying the hot cocoa.

Public Announcement Challenge Winners
For the Public Announcement Challenge, writers were asked to work inside voices built for control. These were notices, warnings, and updates meant to inform rather than confess. The strongest entries committed to that form and didn't break from it. Corporate memos, formal government alerts, and internal policy language were held consistently, allowing emotion, fear, grief, or humor to surface indirectly through pressure rather than declaration. The following poems recognize the voice of authority, and let human feeling slip through despite all its rules and restraint.

This poem captures the delightful confusion and magic of holiday planning to perfection. I love the gallows humor of "I'm starting to wonder if I even know," as it's a reference to those universal holiday moments of frustration. It's a light-hearted, sincere examination of the flawed pleasures of the season.🌞
Yayyyy hot cocoa hehehehhehehe. Loved your poem+
You deserve extra hot chocolate for making a very realistic poem, I agree feeling at times like it’s taking forever to wrap just a few presents. Great Poem.
