Christmas afternoon

Every year some adaptation is required.  This year has required more adaptation than usual, what with the kitchen renovation still underway.  My new snowy owl puppet has a head that turns all the way around,  He can look at things in back of him.  He is an inspiration.

Christmas afternoon:

The tiny Walgreens tree

In the corner of the family room

Made do

With its twelve twinkly lights.

We listened to

Pandora classical Christmas music

Once we figured out

Pandora traditional Christmas music

Was anything but

Our tradition.

My husband figured out

Eggs in the microwave.

The trick is to

Break the yolks

Ahead of time.

I am wearing the plumb bob necklace.

It is perfect,

Absolutely perfect,

As are the clothes

The books

The snowy owl puppet.

Soon we will go out

To dinner.

We will be especially nice

To the waitstaff.
