A Wednesday movie
During “why do we work?” week
More holidays, please

I hide from real life
For one magnificent day
Bask in clockless time

After the tense prep
We slowed to embrace the day
Grabbing this moment

Christmas Eve slows down
We bumble through traditions
Finish line in view

While dimming tree lights
The tree skirt, rug, and floor drenched
The year keeps punching

Our Apple visit
Encumbered the kids’ phone use
We regrouped at lunch

Quick “Happy Birthday”
And doused him with praise
Pivoted to other kid

Her milestone birthday
College distance delayed it
Tonight, we fixed that

In a few short days
Gift wrap will cover the floor
Now, it waits on rolls

Oldest kid comes home
Pulling in the holiday
Why can’t work see this?
