Sunday Scribblings prompt #140 ~ Tradition
~
The traditional colour of Christmas is
Red
So I chose blue
~
A traditional emblem of Christmas is
A tree
So I chose glass
~
A traditional practice of Christmas is
Giving brightly wrapped gifts
But I chose a symbol from
Another tradition ~
Valentine's Day ~
The outline of a heart
~
And so
I break with traditional traditions
And offer a Christmas gift to all
~
Blue
Symbolising my world ~
The blue waters of Port Phillip Bay
Beneath radiant blue skies
~
Glass
Symbolising the magic stargate where
You can wander my world
Anytime
~
And the heart
My heart
~
I wish you love
From my heart to yours
This Christmas
And always
~
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Oh yes, there is nothing more fun than breaking with tradition. Love your sweet blue Christmas collage & the Chrissy poem. It's far too hot this side of the world for reds. Keepin' it cool with blue is a great idea! :)
Oh I go with this nice new blue tradition Beautiful collage and Ahora (love in Maori) to you too
New and beautiful traditions, Gemma! Lovely :)
What a wonderful idea, and a beautiful gift indeed.
interesting thought to merge Christmas and Valentine's day..there is no fixed time for drawing the outlines to the hearts
Beautifully said and carefully chosen. Merry Christmas with love to you also.
I loved this! A creative poem with heart.
