Goodbye Christmas, Goodbye Santa

All was great, colorful and bright...



 

Goodbye Christmas

Goodbye Santa,

Jesus and the manger

All was great, colorful and bright

As we prepared

Day and night.

 

Some were alone, some were never,

Some were just as ever

But we saw love,

Here and there,

And our mirth was like a fair.

 

Goodbye reindeer

Goodbye stockings,

Unfulfilled expectations

We’ll try again in twelve months’ time,

Try to love in a trusty old clime.

I love Christmas and I used to kill myself in preparation only to get hit with a sort of depression after, never sure if it was the abrupt ending to so much expectation or a little of the lack of sunlight malady...I look at things a little differently. seeing the season in a better perspective and finding a little more sun to keep things jolly and bright but still willing to put it to rest for another year...Im with you here...

Seems that it takes forever for the holiday to arrive all the preparation, decorating, shopping...and then before we know it...it is gone! But it seems to me that time is slipping by hardly before we can count down until another year, may just be me...seems we don't have to wait for Christmas nearly as long as we did as children. Enjoyed your write, glad I stopped by.
Blessings for the New Year,
Joyce Bowling
