Christmas

 Among all the festivities that take place,

Christmas is the one to embrace;

Family around the tree, 

And gifts waiting to be free.

 

The tree is full of red lights,

As my little cousin, his letter writes;

Asking for a bunny,

But my aunt tells him “ That’s not going to be possible honey.” 

 

We sit all together waiting to eat, 

Hoping that we get the best meat;

We know it is grandma’s decision, 

But we also know she is going to divide it with much precision. 

 

Hoping for a world with more festivities like this in the next few years, 

Where all of my cousins have many careers;

And my grandma is always here,  

Reminding me every time, “ Don’t you fear, my dear, I’m going to be here year after year.”
