Decorating For Christmas

It's the second week of December.
Christmas of course is my first thought
and the cards I should be writing instead of this.
Unwrapped gifts are over-running the closet
so I can't find my shoes.

I must get out my Santa collection, 
my grandson has asked twice already 
remembering some from last year that I don't.
He keeps re-arranging my display of angels
already set up down in the basement.

I found my new shining star hanging 
in the middle of my Christmas tree
Last year, he moved my glass snowman and
put it with my "glass" nativity scene
because it looks better there.

Right in there with Mary, the baby 
and the Wise Men  - a snowman.
Did I miss Matthew's mention 
of snow in the Christmas story?
I couldn't move it now if I wanted to.

Ann Peck December 3, 2022 at 2:57 PM Your poem is so sweet--little grandson rearranging your collectibles. I think a snowman would fit with the wise men--all celebrating a special birth.
