After Christmas

The guests are gone The table's shorn Of the goodies that adorned it. As my feet rest for a bit My mind wanders on To the New Year's morn And the night that comes before. The parties galore Friends ,food and fun The planning has begun.

Good thing, on Christmas day, we are always invited for a lunch celebration of my hubby's deceased uncle, the husband of my mother-in-law's sister. And when we go home we have lots of take-out. So, in addition to the take-outs and the foods prepared during the Christmas eve, were our supper. Relaxing Christmas for us here.

I like your verse, I used to write them sometimes when I was younger and motivated. Now I'm old and unmotivated. I hope you enjoy your New Year's Eve.
