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.
