May the spirit of good cheer follow you around the room and remind you why you entered for ribbons, paper, a card for a neighbor, scotch, tape, or scissors May joy surround you with a ticklin' sensation so laughable it spreads even if your tree falls over on the cat, or if your toddler gets up in the middle of the night, tonight and opens all the gifts, and dresses the dog in that pretty negligee meant for your wife May you find peace in the bathroom where you hide for a moment of quiet from the extra kids, extended family, the mother-n-law, father-n-law and their little critters, too May you make nice when shopping for that last present, and you find it in the hands of another who snatched it from yours, or if your Mom's holiday bird looks like it flew through a forest fire before it made it to the table May you check behind your SUV or mini-van before backing out of your driveway, in case someone left all the gifts stacked up on the concrete and forgot to tell you May everyone be somewhere, home for Christmas Safe, healthy, and blessed with a mess of love and happiness called togetherness |

Your title had me thinking but now I understand the "mess" part of it. Here's hoping that none of the mishaps happen to you - or me! Happy Holidays! |

It's been a while! You certainly appear to have your thumb on the pulse of the season! Your poem was touching, humorous, with a strong dose of reality which brought a smile to my lips ~ and heart! May your Christmas be merry and your New Year be a joyous one!  Love & Christmas Light, EA |

I got a good laugh because my daughter, "while taking my eyes off her" started tearing bows off the presents for a 9 month old who could get mad at that! You nailed the crazy side of Christmas. Kudos! |
