T'was the night of the drawing
& all through the land,
vintagesusie & friends
sat wringing their hands.
The present was placed
by the tree with much care
& a feeling of wonder
hung thick in the air.
Will it be me?
thought Trisha & Cindy.
Might I be the winner?
dreamed Debbie & Wendy.
A cowboy hat
will determine our fate,
if only she'd tell us
my God, I can't wait!
The silence was deafening,
every breath was held tight.
The moment approached
as the moon shone so bright.
In her cowboy boots,
all dressed up for the show,
vintagesusie looked stunning in
the twinkle light glow.
She held out her hand
& went right to her work,
pulled a name from the hat
& then turned with a jerk.
Reading aloud
the name she did give,
while praying the losers
would still want to live.
"The WINNER is JUDY,
Pappy's Cowgirl,
Congrats my Sweet Heart,
let me give you a twirl!"
Thanks friends for playing,
it's been such a delight,
Happy Holidays to all
& to all a Good Night!
XOXO

Super cute poem...sad I didn't win but loved that you used my name!!
~Trisha
Well, I didn't win. Actually, I'm not even sure I entered. But that's okay, I just like stopping by to listen to the music and say "howdy-do." The other song that comes to mind whenever I hear this is "Snoopy and the Red Baron." My brother used to play that record over and over at Christmas.
That's the first time I ever smiled and laughed while losing a contest. What a very fun way to announce the winner~~Grats Judy! I loved the images, so great.
You are such a great story teller my friend =))

Congrats to Pappy's Cowgirl!!
Susie, I've enjoyed your Christmas posts...all of the nostalgia - it's wonderful. Reminds me of when I was a kid and my Grandmother would come bearing tins of fruitcake and sugar cookies. She had those great glass ornaments too...and my kids have broken a number of them unfortunately as toddlers. We have yet to put up our tree, so thank you for putting me in the Christmas spirit all the way from the West coast!
