Christmas Eve 2013 - A Poem by Alethea Anderson



Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house
Family eating and laughing, including myself and my spouse

Holiday tree, trimmed to the max
Candle light flickering, dripping with wax

Gifts being passed, with ooohs and ahhhs
Also some growls, some boos and some baaaahs

Crumpled up paper, tossed in a sack
Sparkly ribbon and bows, there was no lack

Chaos and smiles, happy and mean
So much in one day, to be heard and seen

Ripping and tearing, people amazed
As the night wore on, eyes became glazed

Ready for bed, the clock topped at one
Everyone packing, the evening was done

Another year flown, in the blink of an eye
Packing the car, a wink and a sigh

364 more days, til.we do it again
Always an adventure, I can't complain...
