After weeks filled with hectic preparation
sadly, another Christmas has come and gone.
Anticipation of festive joy was riding high
as a propensity for Christmas magic
was all it took to keep my hope and dreams alive.
Now the holiday is over and the magic is gone –
packed away in plastic containers
amid shiny baubles and strings of lights.
Hope has become just hope again
and dreams have become just dreams
… until next year
when the magic is unpacked.
Grammy Writes 
Happy New Year to you!

The anticlimax to Christmas seems deeper every year as I age, so much so that I tend to want to see the day come and go, so normalcy can return. Lovely words.
