Hello Sandra,
What a wonderful addition to the Hedgerow Gang story poems
with perfect rhymes throughout.
Who knew that mice were so important, even thousands of years ago.
From now on if I find a mouse in the house, I'll banish him to the manger.
Kids should love this new poem.
Well done.
Best wishes to all, including the Hedgerow gang.
Robert

    Hello Robert,
    I'm so pleased you enjoyed my Christmas story-poem, and even more delighted to know you will look after a mouse if he enters your home. You don't know, he might be looking for something very important! Lol. Thank you for the sixth star award,friend, I really appreciate both the lovely comments and the stars. Warm hugs, my dear friend. :)) Sandra xx

What a wonderful take on the Christmas story! I love how all the animals pitched in to help, even the little mice. Best of luck in the contest. I think you probably have the winner here.

    Thank you, Cindy. I'm so pleased you enjoyed my Christmas story. I don't think anyone knew what was happening in the stable before Mary and Joseph arrived!! Lol. Thank you for the best wishes, my friend. Warm hugs. Sandra x

I absolutely love love love this story. You have been truly blessed with abundant creativity. I especially liked that the little mice listening to the story of Christmas, got to hear that mice played a part. This is a delight to read. Congratulations on being the number one All Time Best for this month.

This is a wonderful poem Sandra. I love the fictional interaction the animals had with Jesus's birth. So glad you got to the top. Wish you the best in your writing.

    I am so happy to read your comments, Dear Sandra! I am sorry to be so late in this reply but I was a bit away from FS (well, in what connections refer but I am always in contact with poetry and the FS community!!). Health was not that nice this late times (I was suspected of Covid, but I was negative).

    Nice to share the "six stars" with you and your inspirations! I really appreciated it.

    Have a wonderful week!!
    God Bless you!!

Yet another captivating poem, Sandra, and one that tells the story of Christmas so well - for adults and children alike! You manage to take the reader to the place, so it's as though they are watching the whole scene in their head.
Bravo!
