Home for the Holidays

The following are a few haikus on being home for the holidays.

Home for a thanksgiving feast.

Gather around the table.

Bow our heads in thanks.

Putting on the pounds.

Lots to eat with many sweets.

Loosen that tight belt.

Away far too long.

Good to see so many friends.

Smiles all around.

A chill in the air.

Trees slowly sheading their leaves.

Sound of rustling steps.

Football on the TV.

Friends cheering their favorite team.

High fives all around.

Mom in the kitchen.

Chasing you out of the way.

The smells fill the room.

Craving the turkey.

Passing the dishes around.

Everyone eating too much.

Building a fire.

Hearing the crackling of wood.

Casting a shadow.
