Christmas Celebrations

Christmas celebrations come so long awaited and eagerly anticipated, suddenly, surprisingly here. Preparations all done and now complete the day as the arrivals come with presents one by one, and wrappings are torn and thrown away. Opened gifts now adorn the space once memorializing the nativity’s place, empty beneath the lights and tree as Christmas songs play in harmony. Tired children fall fast asleep, as sugared candies become their treats too tired now to stay awake and play the end comes to a perfect day. Eyelids tightly closed and satisfied with new acquired gifts once only desired. Sleepy adults ease back and rest, with pure content, this Christmas is the best.. Bought out stores now closed for the scene pocketed from children’s dreams. Quickly now the day is almost done completed by turkey dinners and tv shows in rerun. Happy get togethers for family and for friends, for floats and seasonal parades that never end. Days of Christmas past, lost in other Decembers and this Christmas, one more to remember.
