A pink flamingo on top of a makeshift Christmas tree,
wearing a set of miniature pearls.
Christmas is such a mixed bag of tricks,
and then it's over!
Doing something fun with the people you love
seems to be the very best thing to do.
May you find yourself in good company, warm, and loved,
no matter how you choose to spend these days.
It's over before you know it and the days begin to grow longer and a new year begins.
