CHRISTMAS MESS

May we be blessed to understand 
one of the most beautiful messes we make…
(which in itself is a keepsake)
is the mess we leave around the house 
once we’ve eaten, unwrapped presents and played…
on Christmas Day.

So I suggest after the celebration is over…
before this holiday fades into the past….
that you sit and enjoy the mess a while…
and not clean it up too fast.
