'Twas the week before Christmas
when all through the house
Electronics were humming
especially my mouse
The stockings were hung
by the chimney with care
Revisions were flowing
as I typed with flair
Lights were not hung
and cards were not sent
But my muse had returned
from wherever she went
My children, I heard them
and all of their chatter
I stopped my revisions
to show kids they matter
The work will still be here
when school brings displeasure
But holiday memories
are something we treaure
So I'm closing my laptop
and paying attention
To prayers and laughter
and food, might I mention
I wish you an abundance
of holiday cheer
When the new year arrives
I'll see you back here
Writer friends, this was my lame way of letting you know I'll be taking a short blogging break while my kids are home for Christmas vacation.
But I can't let this year end without telling you how thankful I am that we're in each other's lives. You're an amazing group of people, and it's so fun to share this crazy journey together.
I wish each of you a happy holiday season, and I'll see you in the New Year!
