It is coming!
My mind is full of things.
Buzzing around like flies.
Lists, plans, concerns.
Places to be, things to buy,

Though presents are bought,
Cards are sent,

Children need to be at school on time,
Christmas concert practice,
Watching the real thing.
Festive lunches with friends,
Dressing up and drinking wine,
Wearing silly party hats and laughing.
Presents to wrap,
Food to […]
