An explosion of

Brightly colored paper

Rivers of ribbon

Waterfalling over the

Tables edge steaming

And cooling hot

Cocoa bobbing with

Gooey melting marshmallows

A cacophony of

Laughter echoing across

Beams and ugly

Sweaters aromas swirling

Like sirens freshly

Sprung from Pandora’s

Box tickle and

Taunt and tease

Pulling the hungry

And hopeful into

The kitchen hoping

To touch taste

And try spicy and

Sweet and savory

Delicacies as bourbon

And brandy and

Beer pops pleases

And pickles the

Familiar family frolickers
