For most of this month, I've been featuring my seasonal poem A Christmas Peril. By now most have probably seen that. It's time for something a little different.
For the entire month of December, we have daily been treated to pieces of a new and beautiful effort this year, lovingly assembled by CoyoteOldStyle. If you haven’t seen it, you’ve been missing out.
I hope Coyote doesn’t mind that I’ve helpfully assembled the pieces here into a little square for easier access:
Please take a moment to click through to any of these 25 “doors” and see the delights you’ve been missing. If you start from door number 25, Coyote’s pages will each link back to the previous. Or if you want to go from door number 1, or any other door chosen at random, you can just click Back when you’re done and get to the next door you want from here.
I frankly don’t understand how this series of pieces could have escaped notice of the editors, but it seemed to—and it’s a great shame. I think it was certainly worthy of more prominent placement than I’m capable of giving it here, so if you agree with me, help me out in promoting it to your friends.
Merry Christmas!

Be well..Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Kent!
My project was a labor of love but there were some days when I doubted that I would finish it. The month of December has been filled with the deadline pressures of work, illnesses and hospitalizations for family members and travel both for business and pleasure. When it seemed that very few people were coming to open the doors, I will admit to feeling despair.
But Coyote is an optimist as well as a trickster and it became clear that if the project was abandoned on some random day, it would remain only a shard, not a whole. And I did have a faithful cadre of readers, including you, Kent, who should not have been disappointed. I'm glad that they, and you, were not.
Merry Christmas!
I Love CoyoteWildStyle Too.
It's fluttering Pure White Snow.
It's The Dear Merry Hearts Day.
Pure Joy is thee Greatest Medicine.
Dear scupper's letter penetrated.
That woman's got strong arms.
There are the Dearest critters.
We can't shield from injustice.
People teach and we wed them.
Thanks for being in merry mood.
It's to hear the human heart beat.
Snow flutters and pings the jingle.
In the woods you hear jingle bells.
Silence is sometimes wise. Merry.
I am gonna go give Alpaca scarfs.
Silence. What Gifts.
That fleece is black.
White as snow.

I envy your computer skills.

Children love pure snow.

You are a master at your game.

Art, I'm glad you came by to delight in Coyote's Christmas visions.
Poetess, thanks for visiting. I'll try to get back to posting soon, though the stuff I put up is never full of such visual spectacle as this, so occasionally I have to sit back and enjoy the reflected light of others.
Mission, I'd noticed you at some of those other pages but thanks for stopping in here anyway. Glad you're in safe from the snow.
OE, I suppose that was indeed the theory. And it does feel good to see those pages getting some traffic!
Linda, thanks for all the kudos. Thanks for joining in with these reindeer games.
Roger, thanks. Glad you got to come by and enjoy it all with me. Merry Christmas!
Trilogy, good to know the networking is being effective. Holiday wishes to you and yours.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Xmas to you and your family!
Trish, glad you happened in. Merry Christmas.
Robin, thanks. Same to you!
You are a beautiful soul. And so is Coyote Old Style.
Thanks for putting this together in our very onw OS advent calendar.
And thanks to Coyote for a creative and original series of posts.
Susan, that's high praise. And I'm glad you left a similar comment on Coyote's page, since she did the work. I just had so much fun watching it emerge and it baffled me that the attendance numbers were dwindling rather than growing...
Myriad, I'm glad this interface helped. And thanks for the background on what happened to you along the way—I'm fascinated by the way that layout and other access details affect “attendance” (click-through) on the web, so that kind of raw data is really interesting and useful.
