Marvelicious on Christmas

Our family always looked forward to Christmas Eve. It was the best night of the year as we travelled to our matriarch's apartment in the city. Us kids got a treat via the trip to an urban area that was so much different than our country home. Once we got there, dad would have to do this strange thing called parallel parking. Then all of us would get out of the car and head up the two flights of stars towards that warm light from the open doorway. Sounds of laughter, of discussion and delight provided a soundtrack as we walked in.

Christmastime comes near
A time of happiness, family and cheer
Gifts that get lost or destroyed
Leave with memories that never annoyed
