Here's your Christmas poem quiz.
It has been decreed that we should not play board games at Christmas for fear of transmitting Covid via the pieces. Quizzes, however, are allowed. Here is a poetic quiz for you. How many references to Christmassy things can you find? There are at least 20. Some are very obvious, others are hiding. Good luck.
Christmas Quiz
Stella McFadden (from the Isle of Tiree), invited her friends to a seasonal tea.
Amassed on the table were savouries and vino, elegant pies and garlic porcino.
Nodding and winking she took from the shelf a large Christmas cake, cooked by herself.
There was a strange ‘tinsel thing’ that dangled above
And it flashed silver lights when given a shove.
Carol was pleased when given a box, full of her favourite pink, fluffy socks.
Laughing and drinking they got rather merry, Stella decided to open the sherry.
All through the evening they stayed rather jolly, then Laura yelled – she had sat on some holly.
Under the tree a plum pudding was found, the brandy came out and was then passed around.
Snow started falling – such a nice sight. Coats were put on for a great snowball fight.

Merry Christmas, Faith! I hope you had a lovely day! The poem is quite funny... not sure I could come up with all the references to Christmas items, though!
I love the new header of your blog, Faith. Great Christmas poem, my friend. I wish you A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!
Hope you enjoyed Christmas. Quiet & rainy here. At least there's hope we might be with family next year. 70s is high risk, but doubt we'll be able to get vaccinated before summer at the earliest. That's what happens when a country doesn't have the necessary leadership to handle a crisis. Shameful situation here.
Hope you have had a lovely Christmas Faith. Sorry I didn't get here before. Such a strange year with plans changing last minute after I'd done the food shop. Love the poem! Very jolly xxx
Merry Christmas, Faith! And thanks for sharing Gill's poem! I love her poems!!
