and so this is christmas....

Happy Christmas, and a Merry New Year to you and yours!

so this is Christmas, it's not snowing, but there's snow on the ground.
it's not a real tree, but it was put together with love this year.
we're not all together this year, but in my heart you are near.
it's not christmas if there are no tears, it was a god damn chair that led me to tears.
I broke a chair, helping someone in need,
couldn't stop crying thinking of you alone at home.
Haven't slept great the past few days, maybe its the kid in me screaming out,
remembering times of christmas pasts, with the smiles and the laughs, the redskin sweatpants,
the sound of coffee brewing, batteries being opened, and stockings overflowing.
music in the background, sitting at the top of the stairs yelling can we come down now??
I've been up for hours already, took Russell for a walk,
wishing to see christmas cheer in the windows, little kids walking down the stairs,
instead only the sound of Russell's tags and smells of lingering skunk...ha.

"And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas..."

to be a kid again on christmas morning...magical, innocence, pure love...love is all around

Merry Christmas!
