My Pop keeps a journal, he has for about twenty years now. My sister, her husband, and 7 month old baby girl head home to Boise today, and the 2010 family Christmas is finally over (it takes us a while to celebrate these things) and now it's time to get back to life. So, in memoriam of this past Christmas season Pop wrote this down in his journal and said I could share it with y'all....consider yourselves lucky....I've never had a peek in those books...EVER! :)
‘Tis Monday post Christmas and all through the house,
My daughters are camping with respective spouse.
Stringed instruments litter the top of the table
Finding space for used dishes, we’re no longer able.
The DVD player has seen too much use
And furniture suffers from grandchild abuse.
With chocolate and alcohol the main stay of diet
I watch as the chaos replaces the quiet.
The tree Christmas Day was wisely dismantled
For fear of a fire had it been candled.
And what are my thoughts at the sunrise this day?
To celebrate Christmas… there’s no better way.
