Putting Christmas Away

The lingering scent of an evergreen
Pine needles in the Hoover
Ornaments packed and put away
In old boxes from the movers

Outside lights taken down
The wreath removed from the door
Plastic magi figures back in the shed
Our closet door is locked no more

New toys are in the toy box
New clothes are put away
The house is back to normal
In time for New Years Day
