Christmas This Year

It's not over, but so far it's been pretty great;
It's easily my most favorite holiday of the year.

We kept our annual tradition of order, including
Breakfast, stocking gifts, getting ready, big gifts,
And now we are waiting for the food to be ready for dinner
(I even made my favorite - cheesy potatoes!).

My friends and I exchanged Merry Christmas messages,
And a group of us are texting about New Years,
But this year is family time today,
No going to see any friends.

I got wonderful gifts - I really didn't have much expectation,
And I got so much more than I anticipated!
But my mom got the most gifts, which is well deserved,
As she always makes sure everybody else gets plenty.

It's not always the most wonderful time of the year,
But it's a great day to make the most of precious time.
