Favorite Holiday Things

Blinking Christmas lights on trees

wreathes hung on front doors

stockings on fireplace mantles

children waiting for presents

Airplanes flying in the sky

turkey served with gravy

backseat kids driving Mom crazy

ham served with cranberry jelly

~

Kids tables and Christmas movies

bad jokes and whole-body laughs

football games and after-dinner naps

best friends and egg nog drinks

~

Construction paper turkeys hung in the hall

Thanksgiving feasts when the leaves fall

Christmas songs when snow makes a call

families gathering when tales are made tall

~

Mistletoe kisses and turkey bowls

Santa letters and I'm thankful for's

Elves on shelves and eating so many pies

my waist grows two sizes, are

Just some of my favorite holiday things
