Impromptu early dinner Before party crowds arrive December festive décor Christmas carols in the air Far from holiday shopping madness Dining halls extremely peaceful All truly mesmerizing and ever so perfect Surely this is how heaven be The fireplace ablaze and crackling The jeweled tree propped in the corner Glittering and winking on cue This is indeed the best of the season A fond memory through the year Treasured preciously in our hearts We meant to return every year To repeat this heavenly date Life happened – too busy or too poor - Finally we did make it out Excited at the prospect Of renewing our enchantment But where was our tree Nowhere to be seen The Maitre D’ insisted There never ever was a tree No matter what we had to say In awe we sat in disbelief Finally thanking stars up above For our favourite Christmas memory The one we both remember No one will ever convince us That Christmas magic is a myth Published in my 24-page photo/anthology book ~THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS~ 2023 AP: Honorable Mention 2021 Submitted on December 6 2017 for contest CHRISTMAS TREE sponsored by SHADOW HAMILTON
