Signs of Christmas

C HR AS I M S T Colored lights aglow Decorated trees inside A joyous time here Black Friday arrives Cards received from friends Shopping at the last minute Holly strung from the Rafters Commercialism Rules Reds and Greens abound A Fireplace with no fire Children's Eyes so wide Cookies and Milk left for treats Anticipations so high Stockings have been hung Santa comes tonight Dad reads directions Packages So Pretty Looking for the correct piece Wrapped with a Parent's Love The Trike completed The Elves Approve Today's Air is Sweet Aromas of Mom's Best Work Sweet Pumpkin Pie

I love the creativity of this and the complete glimpses (to me) captured so well. Of course, for me, Dad was putting together Barbies' house! Without bogging down the topics, they are all there in such, again, a creative way. Well done - I can these haiku's scattered on a Xmas card ... CayCay

Thanks, CayCay. I am glad that you saw a little of yourself in this poem. It was written with some difficulty, because I did not know if the star on the tree would disqualify me, since it spells Christmas. I appreciate your comments, as always.
