cookie baking
water pipes breaking
cold winds blowing too
stores & parking lots packed
shoppers shopping
bits of push & shoving
running here and there
the perfect presents
for those held dear
lit trees
nights filled with lights
stockings waiting to be stuffed
kids wishing
parents dreaming
won’t this be over soon
eggnog
fruitcakes
candy canes
gingerbread
plum pudding oh so good
wrap the gifts for giving
singing the timeless songs
aren’t these just a few
of the readies…….. for Christmas Day

take a moment or 2
and wish warm blessings
& cheer
to all those
whether far or near
Santa may be on his way
to your door or mine
leave some cookies for him
a bunch of carrots for his deer
please remember
for me for you
a bottle or 2…….. wine will do
sit by the fire on Christmas eve
and taking another moment
remembering those
not here with you
those you love
and those you don’t
wishing all
warm & joy
wishing all
peace
today
& all tomorrows

my wish
to you
