The Year Christmas Was Late

This year we didn't fully celebrate until tonight,
Because that's when my sister and brother-in-law could come.

I was less than thrilled to wait, to put it nicely,
But it was actually way better than expected.

It was all in a night, because I work all day,
But we opened stockings, at dinner, then proceeded to unwrap presents.

My favorite parts were my grandma - who,
When my dad took the first gift out from under the tree,
Yelled, "That's mine!" and proceeded to grab it from him.
And at 89 she successfully grabbed the very large gift,
Which was from my sister and brother-in-law.

Lots of laughter and lots of gifts - what more could I ask for?
Seriously, I got some awesome gifts. Some I didn't even have on my list.

And now, it makes sense to celebrate the new year, which scares me,
But that is a different story not for tonight.
