"Holiday Aftermath" Boxing Day poem

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas yesterday!  I just came up with this brand new poem today. I was going to save it until next years Boxing Day to post and share because I shared one with this theme already for today/this year. But, as I mentioned before, December 26, 2016 is a full twelve months away, and I just wanted to share it now. So, here it is! Enjoy!

Holiday Aftermath

By: Vickram Bachan
 

 

It's the day after Christmas

and all around the world,

Boxing day sales are happening

and ribbons are uncurled.

 

Stores are having sales

and everywhere is getting busy,

While lights still burn bright

on every Christmas tree.

 

Everyone enjoys their new presents;

the now unwrapped gifts they got the night before,

Some stay home, enjoying the holiday

while others rush to stores.



As the Christmas season

comes to a close,

We look at the decorations

before everything goes.

We look at them one last time
as everything glows,
Seeing the care that put them up
all the time and effort shows.

 

Soon everything will be taken down

until next year,

Before we know it, twelve months will go by

and the Holidays will once again be here

 

As the new year approaches

just one week away,

We look forward to one more

celebration to end the holidays.
