Imagine That Digi of the Month Challenge

 Sadly this is the last Digi of the Month challenge at Imagine That
https://imaginethatdigistamp.blogspot.com/2021/12/december-dotm-challenge.html

Every month Kris from Imagine That has been giving a free digi set to join in the challenge and I have really enjoyed doing the challenge each month and will miss it.

Sadly Kris is also closing the Imagine That Shop on 21 December.  She is having a closing sale so if there is anything you would like now is the time to buy it before the shop is closed.

I have layered one of the digi stamps from the Gingerbread and Cookies 'n Cocoa set onto 
Imagine That papers from Gingerbread papers set
Coloured the digi with Prismacolor pencils
Added ribbon and bow from Digital Scrapbooking Studio

Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes - Christmas

 Outlawz Sunday Songs and Rhymes
https://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/sunday-clean-and-simple/forum/topics/sunday-songs-rhymes-december-12-december-25

Find inspiration in the song or rhyme:

Christmas by John Betjeman

 

The bells of waiting Advent ring,
The Tortoise stove is lit again
And lamp-oil light across the night
Has caught the streaks of winter rain
In many a stained-glass window sheen
From Crimson Lake to Hookers Green.

The holly in the windy hedge
And round the Manor House the yew
Will soon be stripped to deck the ledge,
The altar, font and arch and pew,
So that the villagers can say
'The church looks nice' on Christmas Day.

Provincial Public Houses blaze,
Corporation tramcars clang,
On lighted tenements I gaze,
Where paper decorations hang,
And bunting in the red Town Hall
Says 'Merry Christmas to you all'.

And London shops on Christmas Eve
Are strung with silver bells and flowers
As hurrying clerks the City leave
To pigeon-haunted classic towers,
And marbled clouds go scudding by
The many-steepled London sky.

And girls in slacks remember Dad,
And oafish louts remember Mum,
And sleepless children's hearts are glad.
And Christmas-morning bells say 'Come!'
Even to shining ones who dwell
Safe in the Dorchester Hotel.

And is it true,
This most tremendous tale of all,
Seen in a stained-glass window's hue,
A Baby in an ox's stall ?
The Maker of the stars and sea
Become a Child on earth for me ?

And is it true ? For if it is,
No loving fingers tying strings
Around those tissued fripperies,
The sweet and silly Christmas things,
Bath salts and inexpensive scent
And hideous tie so kindly meant,

No love that in a family dwells,
No carolling in frosty air,
Nor all the steeple-shaking bells
Can with this single Truth compare -
That God was man in Palestine
And lives today in Bread and Wine.
