Christmas Day Comes

Christmas day comes just once every year long and anxiously awaited but always anticipated then suddenly, surprised it's here. Preparations complete and done as the arrivals with presents come , the careful wrappings on display, now torn and thrown away. Displayed gifts now adorn the space where brightly decorated packages were placed laid so carefully in the biggest sea of bountiful gifts beneath the tree. Tired children, no longer awake to play close their eyes, content and satisfied this day dreaming of the once perceived desired gifts happily received. Sleepy, stuffed adults ease back and rest filled on drinks, snacks and buying out the stores best every asked for toy to fulfill the scenes of a child's hopes and dreams. Too quickly now, the day is done with Christmas shows and carols sung, with turkey, ham, lasagna dinners weighed tucked and sadly put away. A get together full of memories to cherish as gifts of past Christmasses perished but the memories remain as Christmas day comes again.
