Christmas Eve in Sweden

One shade of blue for water, one for ice,
Another blue for shadows over snow.
The clear or cloudy sky uses blue twice-
Both different blues. And hills row after row
Are colored blue according to how far.
You know the bluejay’s double-blur device
Shows best when there are no green leaves to show.
And Sirius is a winterbluegreen star.
Blue Winter by Robert Francis

Where did Santa’s reindeer go?

The place was empty! Santa Claus was not in his office, and all the elves were gone.

At first I thought it was because the staff at the amusement park had cheated with the snow.

It takes a Santa to know ‘white’ from wrong!
The staff should know.


Then I discovered that Santa’s reindeer had run away –

… and Santa and his elves were out looking for Rudolph

The List of Missing Treasures

I have an add-on to the list of missing treasures; the stolen Money Chest.
A stolen treasure consisting of the British army’s wages is reportedly buried under this old oak.
A treasure which has been there since the British laid siege to Copenhagen in 1807
