"The Day After Christmas" poem, Happy Boxing Day!

Happy Boxing Day everyone!  I hope you've all had a safe and restful day.

Originally the final poem I was going to post for this year was the Christmas one I posted yesterday, "Christmas Morning". But, sometimes plans change. I thought since we are still a week away from the new year, and there's really no point or reason making you all wait till 2016 for more of my poetry. We still have time for a bit more. So, surprise! Here is a new poem for you all to enjoy!


 The Day After Christmas
By: Vickram Bachan
 
T'was the day after Christmas, and all through the country,
Boxing day sales were happening and lines were getting pushy.
 
Items were sold at low prices,
From toys and clothes, to electronic devices.
 
People awake happily, thinking of the night before,
Some energetic, others a bit hung-over.
 
People continue the party, and celebrate the holidays,
while the snow continues to fall as always.
 
As everyone prepares to wrap-up the holiday season,
They celebrate a bit more, without any reason.



I wrote this poem back in the summer of 2012. Unfortunately we didn't get a white Christmas this year, in fact we hardly got any cold weather in December at all this year. I also have another Boxing Day poem that I just came up with today; I was going to save it until next years Boxing Day, but December 26, 2016 is literally and exactly a whole full year away, and I just want to share it now. So, I'll be posting it a little later.  It's called, "Holiday Aftermath" check back in an hour or so, it'll be posted soon!
