On Christmas Day…
I didn’t see three ships, because we’re in the piedmont, between the mountains and the sea. The beat of those twelve drums are fading away as I quietly sit and dream in these last few hours of Christmas Day.
I got some pretty amazing stuff from my family, including a new keyboard, one of my favorite movies on dvd (”Stardust”), and a lovely lacey top. Also got a gift from a friend that came with an explanation dripping with sarcasm, so my reception of the gift was one of confusion. We all went to see the movie “Marley and Me” tonight, and laughed and cried, and ran home to hug and kiss our own Marley, who we call Beau.
Tomorrow we drive ten hours to visit my brother Andrew and his family… aka, spoil my nephew completely. So in a way, Christmas isn’t really over yet. We still have colored lights to see, gifts to open, and desserts to eat, and family to enjoy. I hope your Christmas isn’t quite over either. Merry post-Christmas day to you all, and to all a good night.
