Reindeer cookies and dammit dolls.
Elusive Kona K-cups and unfound jacquard Santa pillows.
Wish lists and gift lists, lots of silly presents, wrapped in silly ways.
Flyers and calculating, coupons and Kohl’s cash.
Post offices, packages, travelling far.
Travelling near: who, when, where, why, what to bring.
Happy lights, crafting, no time for napping.
Decorating, collaborating, considering, coordinating,
Self-gifting, candy canes, and cuddling with kitties.
Photo cards, pictures of Santa and winter wonderlands.
Delightfully, it’s been a Camelot snow season.
Jingle bells to match the neighbors’ door décor.
Smiling, silently celebrating, enjoying the giving and given.
Knowing I should go to bed, too many ideas still in my head.
Daily Grommets and emails of sales, stuff I hadn’t thought of before.
Soothed into distraction, then kept awake by flaming bookworm letters.
Where was I? Oh, wrapping and rapping along
New and old Christmas songs, one more thing to do tonight
Off to bed with lists in my head,
more season-ing to be done tomorrow.
