Day 358
Two Nights Before Christmas
It's two nights before Christmas and all through the house,
Everything is silent and there is no mouse,
Robert is snoozing and so is the cat .
I am up and wide awake
making sure all my Christmas prep done,
the wrapping, the baking, the knitting,
it has been fun!
When I started to settle for my long winter nap,
I jumped up and realize,
My parcel I sent from Alberta, it has not materialized.
Its been traveling for 23 days,
where oh where can it be!
Am I in a foggy haze?
With COVID and Canada Post,
I am not surprised!
I sat on the phone listening to some dull music score,
After 40 minutes or more
no news, no brown paper package
tied up with string,
We may need to wait to open this parcel hopefully by the spring.
I sat in in my jam-jams,
I realized to my dismay
Our Christmas tree is missing some of its light display.
Some lights had died, and Now! I am fit to be tied!
Instead of watching a Hallmark Christmas movie, or reading
my Horoscope predictions,
instead,
I am reading the Provincial COVID restrictions,
I am a bit concerned about the Gesundheit Gestapo,
Bah hum bug I said,
I will not stop O!
I will carry out our Christmas Traditions
They'll be food, drink and Video Chats
I am sure Santa will arrive complete with his red hat.
I do know people have more serious problems than me
Sometimes I'm too narrow sighted to see...
Specifically to make a fuss over a tree.
I am truly blessed, I am Healthy and I am fine
I know in my heart I am loved and that is we
are only apart,
We will keep Christmas in our hearts,
So good night everyone
Just remember to be cheerful, happy, and kind.

I set my camera on Manual and these are the settings I used ISO 1250, f/2.8, 1/10 sec and my 24 mm lens. I added the text in Photo Shop.
The poem was an inspiration in the middle of the night when I was thinking about my loved ones and how they are coping with the 2020 Christmas.
Enjoy the poem.. I hope it gives you a chuckle!
Thank you!
Until tomorrow

What can you say... Christmas 2020, it is different and will likely be remembered for many of the wrong reasons. I think the mice have the right idea... no where to be found... or perhaps a bear, sleeping through through the winter, self isolated... Really cute versus...
