I want my students to write Holiday Acrostics tomorrow

Cards are my favorite part of the holidays. I love
Hearing from friends who live far away, being
Remembered and not just by email but holding
In my hand their envelope, looking at their
Style, the color of the ink. Everyone’s handwriting
Tends to have a personality of its own. I really like how
My friend Jane writes. The letters seem to dance
And she makes weird h’s. It looks like the words could
Skip right off the page! Her writing makes me happy.
November is when I used to plan our New Year’s
Eve parties. We called it “New York
Withrows were always invited, as were the Smiths. Every
Withrows were always invited, as were the Smiths. Every
Year I’d decorate the house with lights, and get dressed in
Evening clothes, oh, not jewels or a long gown, but for me
Anything other than jeans is dressing up! Was it 2004 I
Remember? when we all danced in the garage, Lesley’s huge
Smile as she bopped around, Lynn
Evidenced in the photos. I miss my friends! I hope some will
Visit me, and we can laugh and have fun like we used to when
Everyone lived within visiting distance, not ½ a country away!
