Holiday Traditions

Holiday traditions run rampant

Every home different but the same

What food to eat and where to meet

And should we watch the game?

Christmas tree – fake, real or not

Tinsel or garland or just a few lights

Angel, star, Santa or nothing atop

And just when should we put it up?

Some give gifts to everyone, others nary a few

others draw names – who’s got grandpa?

Christmas Eve or after church oh just how long must we wait

Oh please, oh please let me open one early

So whether at home with family and friends

Or far away across many time zones

Enjoy the season, the reason, and the love

And reach out to the rest via your phones!
