EDITORS COMMENTS
From the Bottom of My Sole: A Victoriana Christmas Verse 'Twas the season of merriment, and all through the land, Not a foot was idle, not even in the sand. In the quaint Victorian era, a charming tradition unfolded, A pun-derful Christmas card, with a soleful tale to be told. A quirky image of Sole, with a twinkle in his eye, Graced the front of the card, under the twinkling sky. His cork-soled shoes, worn and weathered, stood tall and proud, A testament to the miles they'd been allowed. But the true magic lay in the verse, penned with care, By a wordsmith of wit, who knew just how to pair, Comic puns and verbal play, to tickle the fancy, Of those who received this card, in the late, late 1890s'ancy. "From the bottom of my sole, I wish you a joyous Xmas, May your heart be light, and your spirits bright, May your days be merry, and your nights be snug, And may your new year be filled with love and a lucky tug." So, as we raise a glass to the spirit of the season, Let us remember the simple pleasures, like a well-timed pun, That bring us closer to those we hold dear, And keep the laughter alive, year after year. From the bottom of our soles, we wish you a Merry Christmas, And a New Year filled with love, joy, and endless bliss.
