A Merry Chaotic Christmas

in The Pub2 months ago

I wrote this last year and posted it there, but it is still true — and even more true this year!

christmas morning—
the floor looks like
a tornado hit

Oh and does it ever! Santa left the kids fewer presents this year (because the price of the presents they wanted were much higher) yet somehow it is even more messy here. Now there's a Christmas riddle for us!

Ah well, tis the season, eh?

My friends om this side of the world are enjoying similar chaos, and my friends on the other are probably doing their best to get eager kids to actually go to sleep before Santa arrives.

Anyway, whatever you happen to be, Merry Christmas to you!

Here’s my haiku for the day:

just another day
without snow …
Christmas

The tornado came to my house too, but I was hoping for a blizzard.

Very nice!

Days without snow are pretty normal for this side of the country. But still none over there?

In the mountains, there is snow, but nothing here by the coast yet.

now that everyone is older everyone gets gift cards, those days are over for me, although I look back on them fondly

My kids are right on that borderline. They go nuts, but they are already more interested in Switch games and give cards to the Switch eshop. I may be in the same boat as you before I know it, and I'm sure I'll miss this time when it's gone.

oh, I remember those days. Our boys are older now and more patient, so we will be opening presents later in the day. However the memories of those chaotic mornings will last foreer, I hope. Merry Christmas @dbooster

Merry Christmas, Joe! Yes, I think I will feel the same way once my kids graduate from this time.
