The day would arrive

When decorating for Christmas

Would make me cry…out

“What are you doing..”

Putting it all up

Just to take it down in a few days…

Well here I am

On the cusp of 74

The twinkle in my eyes

At Christmas lights…

No longer make my spirits bright…

The hustle is done

The bustle is gone

Christmas decor

Even though wreaths hang in the windows

And on the door….

Are dwindling down to a precious few

To those that give the best bang

For my personal view…

I’d rather enjoy

Watching holidays movies on TV

Although the Hallmark Chanel

Is not one of these…

Bring on the cookies

And lots of snow…:

Mrs. Grinch

Would much rather

Snuggle her nose and wiggle her toes

Under a comforter

Up in her bed

Letting those sugar plums

Dance in her head….
