It Begins
On this morning
after yesterday’s turkey
and pumpkin pie,
I sigh
still stuffed
from last night
while my toes curl in pain
from standing hours
preparing the family feast.
I contemplate in my quiet,
two teens
soon to be madly bugging me
to drive them to the mall.

A time honored tradition
perpetuated by
guardians of commerce
to lure bargain hunters
and gullible youth
to spend their coin
on perceived savings,
my girls have been
champing at the bit
to participate.

I can hear footsteps
and laughter approaching.
The Christmas season begins.
