Premium Member Christmas Traditions

Tradition is a lovely thing.

It binds our past and the future.

Remembering the way it’s always been,

Hoping the comfort of sameness endures.

Tradition sudden crashes down
    Who still upholds it best leave town

  There's a reason it's come undone

On ways to get hubbies elated:
After Thanksgiving chow
Ogling men hollered “wow!”
As wet-shirted women they rated.

Food

A cornerstone of culture,
a tradition that connects all.
So common,
so widespread,
yet so unique in individuality.
A binding tie,
to all humanity.

Seems an amorous Florida man
Drove right into a FedEx step van.
Though the oral tradition
Caused a head-on collision,
The package was delivered as planned.

The Present Time

Exchanging gifts on Xmas Eve:
My mum’s tradition Sue just hates;
A loaded stocking by the bed,
Ensures we spend the day as mates.

Walls Closing In

Walls closing in
On an unforeseen vision
Of happiness lost
And blind tradition
When fearlessness fades
And my eyes do glisten
I only hope
That you will listen
