Eating sweets
Probably too many
But who cares right now.
Shooing the cat
Away from the tree.
She eats it and makes messes.
Joking about secrets
Especially with those
Who hate surprises.
Making food
More food than I'll eat
But someone else will.
I think it's almost Christmas
Singing carols
Maybe off key
But who cares right now
Bringing friends
In to our home
A joyous time together.
The name of Jesus
On every lip
In every store and song and life.
Eyes glowing in the
Advent light
So pure and beautiful and bright.
It must be almost Christmas.
