Notes About The Poem

Christmas traditions

(On Christmas we brunch with two hundred and some fifty of our closest friends)

I wish you all  joy with your own holiday traditions.
Merry Christmas Everyone!

There’ll be snow-white bright linens,
crystal that glistens,
and silver that perfectly glows

There’ll be garlands of green
twined with red satin sheen
shimmering gemlike Christmas trees

There’ll be brioche that’s toasted
apple smoked salmon
and oysters laid out in iced rows

There’ll be cheeses from Roquefort,
baguettes, fruit and camembert,
Bûches de Noël coffee déserts

They’ll be geese gently roasted
and holiday toasting
as the feel of aged cognac grows warm

There’ll be carolers and violins
toys for the children
like secrets tied up in bright bows

They’ll be dancing and laughter
and much happy chatter,
as guests drift-out on their ways home

It’s the joy we’ll remember
long after December..
Hey - let’s do it again here next year!
