For this year's Expand the Winter Village Contest, I humbly offer the Conservatory, Florist and Garland Shoppe,
home of Heather the Holiday Elf
On the rim of Santa's Village,
Amid the ice and snow,
There stands a small oasis
Where trees and flowers grow.
A green thumbed little elf,
Named Heather, minds the stalls,
And tends the firs and flowers,
That decorate the halls.
Pointsetta, ameryllis,
And springs of mistletoe,
The holy and the ivy,
And christmas cacti grow.
And other elves, they help her
Prepare for holidays,
With grand trees fit for trimming
And bouquets that amaze.
They make the wreaths and garlands
That decorate the land
And boldly state for all to see
That Yuletide is at hand
So in that dark of winter,
Let Heather set the scene;
May your New Year bloom with life renewed
And your christmas ever green.
Thank you for your consideration (and please forgive my feeble attempt at poetry)
