Twas the Days After Christmas

Twas the days after Christmas before the New Year.

Our home was still buzzing with holiday cheer.

There were papers and boxes and toys everywhere.

And the dogs all had candy canes stuck to their hair.

With computers and cell phone and games oh so loud.

I feel like I'm stuck in that black Friday crowd.

There is laughing and fighting and playing around.

While Steve and I pack for the poor house in town.

Each year I say less and each year I buy more.

I probably need to just purchase a store.

The kids they get older their wants more intense.

I throw up my hand to the high priced expense.

They want cell phones and beats and  new x-box games.

Some make-up and polish and clothes all brand names.

I'll have a DS and new games you know.

And a sled and some skates for the new fallen snow.

Don't forget the new shoes and the sparkly tights.

And the snuggy pajamas for cold winter nights.

So under the tree there were gifts a galore.

They covered the entire family room floor.

So now Christmas is over a New Year will be.

I'm saving for Christmas 2013!
