i would like to make a toast
here's to memories of loved ones gone by
and the beauty of little ones newly arrived
to being to poor but not caring
to cold eggnog
and warm toes
to wrapping and sharing
and compulsively checking
the weather channel
to keep track of the snows
here's to glitter bomb greeting cards
and leftover pine tree shards
and sleeping in late in the day
to gingerbread cookies
and board games for rookies
and movies that came out on blu-ray
here's to 75% off for the same exact thing
because i waited two extra days
and stocking up on holiday flavored yummies
like pumpkin
and peppermint
and weird fat dude shaped chocolate
and cheese that belongs in our tummies
here's to hilarious photographs
late night secrets and laughs
and wishing the rest of the year was this fun
here's to holiday pay
and remembering to pray
for those who don't have anyone
here's to wishing you all
summer, spring, winter, fall
joy and peace and a life full of love
and puppies
and baby kisses
and the realization that all of this is
a blessing
from someone above
happy holidays dear ones
p.s.
if you don't get a visit from my little snowman
please let me know
as i have been somewhat under the weather
and the fever makes me absentminded
