Christmas is Over

It's over. It is really

almost over, this

season they call

Christmas. Soon enough

the trees will be

piled in the alleyways

of memory, the shiny

new toys will be

dulled with use, and

the Christmas cheer will be

gone with the last drop

from the bottle.

 

I love Christmas, I really do.

Or should I say, I

love the day

It was perfect that day

our own little corner

of pure happiness.

 

We had our time that day

Food, games

fellowship. Family.

Us four...together.

 

Yes it's almost

over. We have our

memories, hopefully

never forgotten.

New traditions replace

old ones.

Love. Peace. Joy.

 

We remember the

reason. The reason

for the season.

The Christ child!

Born!

 

Yes it's over.

No more trees,

the lights have dimmed

the two month long

barrage of music

is silenced.

It's quiet. Peaceful.

 

It's

over.
