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...
