Christmas Reunion

Every Christmas, my family and I,
get together, and collectively sigh.

This is the first time in a year,
that almost everyone is here.

We reminisce, relax, and eat;
Mom's cooking can't be beat!

Simple presents, tokens unwrapped,
held with smiles, for photos snapped.

Carols sung on Christmas night,
some must make the early flight.

Hugs, kisses, an occasional tear,
we won't meet again for a year.

Every Christmas, my family and I,
get together, and collectively sigh.

    sounds just like my family reunions on my moms side. Except that we see each other more than once a year, we also meet up for easter and thanksgiving and milestone birthdays. Thanks for entering my contest. Sorry it's taking me so long to judge, but as you may be able to imagine, it takes a while to read so many poems and pick out the very best. Merry belated christmas!

    This is really great! I can relate to this.
    It's a miracle when you can get most of your
    family home with you on Christmas day. The
    love in the room can never be compared.
    It makes the holiday season very special amd
    more meaningful when there is so much love
    and support around you.

    I hope that every Christmas is this great!
    Well done and good luck to you with this one!
