Convoluted Christmas Carols – French Knot Style

T’was the week before Christmas, and all through the store,
All were feverishly knitting, to finish one project more.
All the stockings were gone to be filled with good things,
Like candy and toys, and maybe some rings.

The stitchers have sent off their things to be sewn,
Into things of such beauty that’s rarely been known,
And although it’s been promised, if they made the deadline,
They can’t help but worry, will it be back in time?

Now Christmas, we know is a time of good cheer,
And we’re grateful for the fun that you bring us all year,
We plan to continue to urge and inspire,
And to help to keep burning that creative fire.

So please keep your headlights pointed to The French Knot,
And stop in to stay a short time, or a lot,
It’s a magical place, let us toot our own horn,
So special in fact, we have a pet unicorn.

It’s time now to bring this crazy rhyme to a close,
And to wish for you all that your happiness grows,
To close out this post, you know I must write,
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
