Challenge
We are approaching Halloween, and not much longer after that will be Thanksgiving, followed by just about everyone’s favorite holiday—Christmas. Thus this challenge is to incorporate all three holidays into a three stanza poem followed by a single line ending. This can be dark, eerie, pleasant, daunting. Possibilities with this can be endless.
Because Prose still has some difficulties determining a winner via most likes, and though this falls under Monarchy, I will choose the winner based on the total amount of likes. The only difference this time is this: If you do not tag me in the comment box, not in your piece—it will not matter how many likes you have, it will not be chosen, so be sure to tag me as @Danceinsilence.
I will start this off so you get an idea or ideas from which to decide how you wish to go with this.

One and All
Black cats creep upon walls of ivy and alleys dark,
Burning fire creates a wild spark,
Witches cackle and fly across the silver speck of haunt,
Ghosts scream a coupled chaunt.
All family gathered round,
A turkey and a garden rose from the ground,
Time of giving,
Time of living.
Ornaments hung on a tree,
The cold hits a new degree,
Jingle bells plays a ballade,
Presents escalade.
They all bring out the best and the worst in us, but magic resides in them all.
