Happy Holidays

Published by Ivan M. Granger at 10:00 am under Poetry Chaikhana Misc.

Since many people are on vacation, I am going to put the Poetry Chaikhana on hold until January. If you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, the Solstice… I hope you have a wonderful holiday season. And may the dawning of the new year bring new possibilities and new joys.

Click here for a special e-card for everyone in the Poetry Chaikhana community.

I look forward to reconnecting with everyone in the new year!

    Thank you Ivan. The daily verse is a very sweet moment (waqt in Arabic) in my day. Kind of like a chocolate drop…! Happy new year to the Muslims this month… Happy Hanukkah.. Merry Christmas… and Happy Kwanzaa!

    I do so appreciate you. The poems you post seem eerily
    to be a propos to what is happening in my life. Thank
    you from the deep heart’s core. Happy Christmas
    and a better year for all of us I do pray.

    Ivan, you will be missed. May the peace of Christmas fill your soul and spirit, and for those you love, in this season of celebration.

    Thank you for what you do for us day by day, year in and year out, delving into thought, prayer and wisdom of those who have walked this earth before us, bringing out these treasures to place them before us. What a great gift, one of the real gifts of our sometimes very troubled world. Thankyou.

    As I said you will be missed, but enjoy your break, and shall look forward to reconnecting whenever it occurs.
