I have been around for many a Christmas
But never have they been coming around
…..so fast…
When I was a child I sat by the window
on Christmas eve
Watching for Santa Claus
It was late
I was tired
But still I sat and waited.
As I got older I knew better
but still I waited for Santa
However, the holidays
seemed to come around a little faster
than it did when I was younger.
Each year I felt the same thing
The years had the same amount of months
But somehow it seemed to be speeding
and
Before I knew it
It was Christmas time again
The holidays were rushed
by vendors trying to sell their wares
followed by greeting card suppliers
trying to sell their cards
Somehow we no sooner finished
our Thanksgiving dinner
than it became the Christmas holiday
I loved when I was able to celebrate
each holiday without rushing
to start the next
Each holiday had their own
fun, food and individual celebrations
Today, the months speed by
The years of my life rush as well
I think we should stop!
smell the roses!
And allow each Holiday to
be celebrated in full
By itself .
