Lingering Christmas Mood
Though Christmas happened
Nearly two weeks ago
I’m still in the mood.
I spent Christmas in Arizona
In sixty degree plus weather
Where my kids don’t decorate.
Oh, we had the turkey dinner
And opened gifts
And enjoyed being with family.
But now I’m back deep in snow,
Christmas decorations are still up,
Most cards still at the Post Office.
Come Monday, I’ll get the cards
Hang them up with the rest
Play some Christmas carols.
Sit in my comfy recliner,
Drink hot chocolate with mint
Gaze at ornaments from everywhere.
Remember the good times
Past Christmases and travels.
And maybe I’ll get in the mood
To put Christmas stuff away
Stacked in boxes in the garage
And get on with the new year.
