Xmas Eve
We had a few great poems about Christmas Eve. First, this epic one from Christine (and I think I remember seeing those parties down the block):
When we were little
They gathered, with drinks in hand
To assemble toys
As we grew older
So grew the gatherings on
Christmas Eve, joyful
The table spread with
Meatballs, cheeseballs. Oytser stew
Served from the kitchen
People milled about
Room to room, smiling, carefree...
Kids sneaking cookies
As the years go by
The kids begin to bring kids
The cycle of life
Conversations change
From jobs to retirement
Some have moved away
Some have passed away
Gathering happens no more
But memories remain.

Some have passed away
Gathering happens no more
But memories remain.
And this from Desiree:
Go tell it on the
mountain! Christmas starts after
candlelight at church.
