As We are One Big Happy Family
As we all crowd into the living room,
we pass out the gifts and cards. As we start with the youngest to oldest, they open their gifts while everyone watches. As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, and experience the joy of being with family. As we each share our signature dishes to pass; filling our plates with green beans, mash potatoes, sausage, and Pumpkin Jelly Roll. As we eat we savor that taste you get once a year. We daze into food coma. As we sit around playing games, doing crafts, and watching movies together As the older cousins show the little ones how to play Apples to Apples. As the night goes on, the more we eat, the more we play, the more we talk, the more we laugh until we cry. The more time we spend together we become a stronger, closer family. |
