Signs of Christmas

                                      Colored lights aglow
                                    Decorated trees inside
                                       A joyous time here
                   
                     Black Friday arrives      Cards received from friends
              Shopping at the last minute     Holly strung from the Rafters
                 Commercialism Rules            Reds and Greens abound

           A Fireplace with no fire                         Children's Eyes so wide
      Cookies and Milk left for treats                      Anticipations so high
         Stockings have been hung                             Santa comes tonight

        Dad reads directions                                  Packages So Pretty
   Looking for the correct piece                         Wrapped with a Parent's Love     
       The Trike completed                                     The Elves Approve

                                    Today's Air is Sweet
                               Aromas of Mom's Best Work
                                    Sweet Pumpkin Pie

I love the creativity of this and the complete glimpses (to me) captured so well. Of course, for me, Dad was putting together Barbies' house! Without bogging down the topics, they are all there in such, again, a creative way. Well done - I can these haiku's scattered on a Xmas card ... CayCay

Thanks, CayCay. I am glad that you saw a little of yourself in this poem. It was written with some difficulty, because I did not know if the star on the tree would disqualify me, since it spells Christmas. I appreciate your comments, as always.
