The Quintessential #JingleTweet

Twas twelve days before Christmas

When all through the office of the AUDIOCOMGROUP

The movie "It's a Wonderful Life"

Played on a continuous loop.

The #JingleTweet gifts were all wrapped with care

In hopes that the guests would soon be there.

Stacey Bewkes was certainly not nestled in bed

While visions of so many friends danced in her head.

And Susan McCarthy in her Unique Vintage Red Satin Dress,

And I in my dark Ralph Lauren suit, green Izod shirt, and colorful Contess Mara Tie;

When at the bar there arose such a clatter,

Susan and I walked over together to see what was the matter;

Away to the bar we flew like a flash--

Two Cabs I said and the bartender answered "Please, no cash."

The movie on the surface of the newly painted wall

Gave the lustre of lovely light  to all,

When what to my wondering eyes should appear

What looked like an angel; my she was dear

With curly blond hair and a beautiful smile, an author

I knew in a moment she must be Dec-a-Porter.

More rapid than lovers' heart beats they came

And we smiled and hugged and called them by name:

Now, Jonas Everets!

Now, Mally Skok!

Katie Coleman

And Conor Coleman!

On, Marcy Michaud!

On, Larry Ruhl!

On, Tamara Stephenson!

And Laura Newman!

To the beautiful bar to drink, to the buffet table to eat;

Now Tweet! Now Tweet! Tweet! Tweet! Tweet!

As artists these all before this #JingleTweet

There was no design challenge they could not meet.

And again to the food and wine they flew

With a roomful of gifts and St. Stacey, too.

And then, in a twinkle, I closed my eyes to rest

And clearly I heard the voices of the wondrous guests.

As I opened my eyes and turned around

Stacey Bewkes and Ridgely Brode appeared without making a sound.

They were the quintessence of style and beauty, from head to toe,

They, too, were like angels, all glorious aglow.

A pile of gifts these two angels had to give out

When they pulled a card from an urn and came out a shout;

"A gift from Bruce Barone,  this December

For one lucky person, a gift to remember."

Their eyes, how twinkled, their dimples how merry

Their cheeks were like roses, their noses like cherries.

They intensely focused on each gift they gave this night

With her glasses pulled down on her nose

Stacey conferred with her party partner, Ridgely, and from #Jingletweet arose

Cheers and laughter so sweet

Making new friends here was such a treat;

But I knew I would awake in the morning light

Sorry I did not meet 

All at this #JingleTweet

A quintessential #JingleTweet

We left by ten
