We celebrate
and eat rice cake;
We dress
to impress,
We play chess
or card games;
We laugh with no shame,
We call everything cute names,
Everything is no more the same.
Cold winds blow
And the doorway is covered with snow,
Yet the fire at home offers cheerful glow
As our passion and desires 4 life grow.
Jubilant January
keeps bliss inch away…
We feel simply extraordinary
Before we hit February.

What a wonderful Jubilant January that is ! That was sweet .
January–Just the month for jumping and juggling, another year of fun, nights are long and cold, unfamiliar is the snow covered landscape, apparitions dance in the moonlight, reindeer are resting at the North Pole, yawning and sleepy in front of a warm fire.
Good J jubilance!
Wonderful !! Specially smiled at the calling cute names 😉

Your poem and perfect photos to adorn it bring back memories of New Year celebrations in my family. You have aptly described the demeanor of that day right down to the snow on the doorstep. Blessings to you…
January sounds good to do. What about February? Thanks
Holy Moly,
I’m just getting used to the idea that December is here. You’re making me break out in hives! I like the card games myself. Hoping to play a lot of those this “December”

What fun! I need to make it through all the Christmas things. I guess it will leave me jubilant in January.
Fun. In fact, downright jubilant!

oh, I could feel the cold of January as you wrote. . .but yes, a roaring fire is wonderful
Indeed a most jubilant verse…one that brings smiles.
Good to enjoy a month that is a downer for lots of people.
