“Tannenbaum Delight” ©️ C.P. Hickey 2019

“Boxing Day”

 

Presents unwrapped,

Feasts consumed.

Less crazy life,

Re-resumed.

 

Christmas comes,

But once a year.

Family, friends,

And magic air.

 

Boxes stacked,

cardboard fold.

Carols sung,

New and old.

 

Stockings away,

Elves at work.

Santa’s list,

Renewed rebirth.

 

Of all the times,

I hold most dear.

This joyous, wondrous,

Time of year

    I read this entire poem to the tune of the first eight measures of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”…on repeat. Not sure why, but it fits quiet nicely. Give it a try! 🙂
