Glad I Lost the Vote
Let's add some Christ Child and Santa
But the class reunion is in July!
And we had one member of our class who was not Christian.
We are tired of the red white and blue.
We want red and green.
In the winter when everyone returns it is too cold to visit.
But Christmas time is so beautiful!
I was outvoted. The committee of six not counting me
Decided we would have a Christmas extravaganza as our theme.
I thought it was the silliest thing I ever heard of,
But everyone arrived in red and green, and we had tinsel
and a Christmas tree, and there were elves and three Santas
The only member of our class who was not Christian
had married a Christian woman and was now Christian
Best time ever. Best reunion ever.
A beautiful evening. We all sat outside and sang carols.
Loving the fact that we were all still living after all these years.
The gift exchange was hilarious. I went home dancing and singing.
So glad I had lost the vote!
