Christmas Countdown 2015: 24. Build-up to Christmas


Well here we are again,
The eve of the celebration,
Let’s look back at the year,
And look forward to a new one.
Today is the quiet before the storm,
Opening presents and visit the family,
Thank those for their gifts,
And thank those for their presence,
But for now there is time to rest,
And build up to the big day.
