Late in the
Evening on Christmas Eve
After breakfast with a friend
After setting up for a family luncheon
After a family luncheon that never seemed to end
After cleaning up after a family luncheon
(and that,
too, never seemed to end)
After a moment of sitting and thinking with wife and
child
After opening gifts (with dachshunds and cats)
After sharing gifts (with dachshunds and cats)
After keeping dachshunds and cats from eating the tree
ornaments
After watching Judy Garland sing “Have Yourself a Merry
Little Christmas”
After sitting exhausted with a therapeutic episode of The
Office
You realize
The day wasn’t so bad
