'Twas the day after Christmas and all through the house,
The children were sleeping, too tired to arouse.
When all of a sudden there appeared in the room,
Mama in her dustcap, carrying a broom.
She tackeled the tree, taking much care
To remove every light, the tree was soon bare.
She packed everything, put it safely away
On a shelf in the basement'til next Christmas day.
She dragged out the tree and then heaved a big sigh,
Sat down with her coffee and had a good cry.

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Joyce, I couldn't help but cry reading this, for it is sad to tuck Christmas away, but the spirit of Christmas always live sin our hearts everyday and helps us to spread cheer to all our loved ones! (sigh) I hope you had the happiest holidays! Such a beautiful bittersweet expression, sweet friend, we all love you so much! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joyce, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
