One Day a Year Phew

Tinsel and sparkling green pine tree Glittering and glowing faces Handmade items hanging Lights blinking green and red Decorations and mistletoe kissing Snowman's built with sleds sliding Hot coco by the fire with homemade bread Turkey cooking with aroma of delight Carolers cheerfully singing a Christmas tune Small eyes light up with dreams of toys Dancing though their heads, wondering Children tucked in beds with stories told Sleeping and dreaming of what Santa will bring Romance looming through the air Rings are bought at the perfect time A wedding ring placed in a large present Mom and Dad in bed exhausted and in debt Worth it just to see their children's smiles Presents opened small children playing Bike ridding and toys making noise while Pants and shoes lay on the floor Christmas is over, phew!

Bobby, Yep, your poem pretty much covers it. And I one of the lucky ones to live those days. -Richard

...so much work for one day a year and if wasn't for grandbabies i wouldn't even put a tree up...my sister used to go all out for the holidays and after most the family passed and a bad thing happened right before the holidays one year she doesn't decorate at all... Awesome write Bobby, one can feel the magic through your words... hugs

I Loved the wedding ring in a large present under the tree - how holy and how blessed will that marriage be! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
