Christmas no more

Goodbye tree and presents sitting underneath

you're not there anymore, you're not sitting proudly upon presents for the whole family 

i guess it'd be easier to keep you tidy now....but still, i do wish i could see be-ribboned things everywhere 

and those paper chains, i miss you paper chains 

and those twinkly lights (and good ol' re-runs on TV)  

every little corner, decorated in sparkly things 

and cards

until next year 

oh my tummy,  too much chocolate

The decorations are slowly coming down.  Our eating habits are becoming normal again.  The last of the relatives are heading back to their own homes.  No noises of little ones.  No bickering over the remote control.  It is beginning to get quieter.
