Christmas aftermath

No more sparkly gift wrap.
No more holiday songs.
The best food has already been eaten
and those relatives are long gone
(or at least they should be).

and last night New Orleans won,
but don't forget that this season
is about God's only begotten Son.

Still, Brees surpassing Marino
is a pretty big freakin' deal
and stores all across America
are now offering some mega steals.

But not one for retail therapy,
I'd much rather stay at home
and avoid the hustle and bustle
and enjoy my sacred time alone.

Just me and my cozy blanket
wrapped around me as I slouch
into the soft cushions and upholstery
of my comfy living room couch.

  2. Our Christmas was pretty low-key. I like the chaos, but this year it fit my mood and I enjoyed it.

    Would have liked it more if Green Bay had lost...

    Fun poem!
