Restrictions: None
Now and Then - Week 20
All the paper had been crumpled and balled,
(The boxes stacked for future use)
While Rudolph pranced across the TV screen.
The children with new toys enthralled,
Played underneath the fragrant spruce.
How I remember this Christmas scene!

It’s quieter now, this year’s holiday,
With acceptance and silent gratitude.
Like Scrooge undergoing his annual redemption
So do we, each in our own way,
For a moment put aside our humbug attitude,
And revel in the joy of our disbelief’s suspension.
