Christmas 5: Christmas Day

Some of my earliest memories include staring up at the peaked roof of this church building, and singing. 
So began my Christmas morning.
Then we headed to Uncle John & Aunt Nancy's,
for Christmas togetherness.
Some traditions have been born,
these poppers with their treats 
being the start to brunch.

Then, later, stockings.
Bringing me back to my childhood, 
to Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa's,
stockings and all of their tiny treats are one of my favorite things.
We sat together  
and enjoyed each other's reactions
telling stories 
and laughing at ourselves.
We closed the evening with a game,
our bellies full and our hearts warmed.
