ORNAMENT HUNT: The clues follow the tune of Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, and the angel ornament reflects the theme. Neither the song nor the ornament contains hidden meaning, nor do the hyphens added to fit the melody.
Clue #1
Hark! it’s time for Winter Wa-alk,
Much to do, no time to gawk;
Frosted windows, lighted tree-es,
Horses hooves, and bustling streets!
So much joy that can be spre-ead,
Find a place to lay your hea-ad;
It’s a trip that we all share,
Young and old, a winter fair!
Hark! It’s time for Winter Walk,
Much to do, no time to gawk!
Clue #2
Oh! the Christmas plans a-bou-ound,
Wishing snow would hit our ground;
Craft a snowman, get your tree-e,
Make an angel, share your glee!
See the tower, view the river,
Hang your star, now don’t you shiver;
Leave the trail of love and joy,
Plant your-or--self in peaceful noise;
Hark! It’s time for Winter Walk,
Much to do, no time to gawk!
Clue #3
Memories cement in sto-one,
Build yours up, don’t be alone;
Call your friends and fa-mil-ly-y,
Pack your gear, bring Christmas Tea!
River views, which one to ta-ake,
Regional it’s almost fa-ake;
Pitch a tent where dreams take flight,
Un-de-er stars, so blue and bright;
Hark! it’s time for Winter Walk
Much to do, no time to gawk!
