All in the dreaming

It was all in the dreaming.

Or that's how five weeks in America seemed.

Now it's home

and back to mittens ,

hot chocolate and

dreams of Christmas.

This house needs cleaned.

There are still suitcases,

lying strewn all over the place~

clothes spilling out of them

like open mouths.

It's as well my mom is in Heaven

or she would be

telling me to tidy up my room.

Carols in the car and on the TV.

Kiddies getting so excited about the man in the red suit.

Looking at the week aheads weather leaves

me feeling rather seasonal.

I'm longing for frosted,

diamond sparkling streets

or even a dusting of icing sugar snow.

I need a reason to make gallons

of hot chocolate for my family.

With just so few days until Christmas,

I still have a fair bit of

shopping, baking, cleaning and fretting to do.

So I know  how I will be spending many

of the days that lie ahead.

This, however,

is what I'd like.

 Have a wonderful day, everyone.

ever tasted, bought in Carmel, CA
