so this is Christmas / and what have you done
another year over / a new one just begun
Christmas Eve was always a favorite of mine when I was a kid. We’d eat sloppy joes, go to church, open presents, enjoy hot chocolate from the machine at the gas station, and look at holiday lights. (Yes, we opened presents on Christmas Eve. Santa brings presents for you to open on Christmas Day, duh!) One of my family’s favorite memories is when I came home from my first semester of college. My mom was in nursing school at the time and busy working at the hospital that night. I borrowed the old station wagon and took my sisters and their friends out to look at lights. We might have listed to John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s “Happy Xmas (War Is Over)” 1,000,000 times that evening. My sisters still tease me about my annoying obsession with this Christmas song (but I won’t let them forget how they mixed up the sugar and salt for the cookies that year.)
