We had another day of Christmas
more family time, more presents,
another big meal, another house full
of squeals for new clothes, new toys
laughter of memories, of old stories
brought back, catching up with family
parents we don’t see that often
rekindling, renewing, enjoying company
Christmas continuing this year
for another day, would that it could,
in all its original glory, beyond
the twelve days, beyond Epiphany
into our every day, into our hearts
all year long
