Oh, Alice! Chapter 43: Christmas Greetings...

Good morning! I am sorry, but I cannot seem to upload any pics right now to anywhere right now :(
For now :) here is the Oh, Alice challenge info for this week!
I hope to have the prob solved sometime tonight, right now I have to finish all the last minute stuffs before my Big Boy's b'day party this afternoon :) Star War themed at Boomer's, LOL! It's going to be so much fun!
Thanks much!!! :*)

LADY dear, if Fairies may
For a moment lay aside
Cunning tricks and elfish play,
'Tis at happy Christmas-tide.

We have heard the children say—
Gentle children. whom we love—
Long ago, on Christmas Day,
Came a message from above.
Still, as Christmas-tide comes round,
They remember it again—
Echo still the joyful sound
"Peace on earth, good-will to men!"
Yet the hearts must childlike be
Where such heavenly guests abide;
Unto children, in their glee,
All the year is Christmas-tide!
Thus, forgetting tricks and play
For a moment, Lady dear,
We would wish you, if we may,
Merry Christmas, glad New Year!

Christmas, 1867.

Welcome down the rabbit hole once again my friends. This poem by Lewis Carroll was found in the back of a copy of Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. In researching the history of this poem are fellow DTer, Erin, found the All Saints, the Lewis Carroll Memorial Window at Daniell Chapel in England. The 3 centre panels contain verses from this Lewis Carroll’s poem. The window was designed by the stained glass artist Geoffrey Webb and depicts a Nativity scene, at which both Carroll and Alice are present. This is a must see for anyone that loves Wonderland.

For our challenge this week, Oh Alice! wants us to get into the Christmas spirit.
The challenge is to use red, green, + one color. You can still use other colors for hair and skin. Just make the main use of color red, green, + one.
