See the
lights
wink
yellow
and
blue
from angel
hair
cascading
to the
tinsel
tips
of
evergreen

Time
for cashews
tourtière
ice cubes
melting
in a glass
of
cheer
as we
wait
for
turkey skin
to
crisp

Outside
a wet
snow
sprinkles
letting us
know
how
good
it is
to finally
be
home and
ready

Under the
tree
mysterious
packages
for
you
and
me
make sounds
delightfully
uncertain
when
shaken
