Twas the Night before Christmas,
Before presents unwrapped
Before laughter and joy fills the house to it’s cap.
I’m thinking of the future and of the past
I’m grateful its Xmas here at last.
There are so few times when all are in glee
Mostly its me in my room while they watch TV
But tomorrow we are together and will all be as one
Tomorrow is the rare day that we all have fun.
Family, I think, is a hard path to take
You love them and hate them from the moment you’re awake.
I’m stopping there. Not really feeling the rhyme this year (unintended). Not feeling able to pull this off with any warmth. I’m working into the xmas spirit. I need it. I need that moment of happy in my family way.
