Things Left Undone

Here's to all the things left undone as time runs out.

Here's to packages mailed late to dear family:

Here's to grocery shopping left to the last minute, elusive ingredients not found:

Here's to recipes left untried:

Here's to Christmas books not read:

Here's to that one more Christmas table not set:

Here's to the last decorating that just did not happen:

Here's to Christmas trees left un-sat before:

Here's to Christmas movies watched with only one eye while Christmas cards were addressed:

Here's to libations left un-concocted:

Here's to all the things you and I meant to do this Christmas before time ran out.

Meanwhile, a very Merry Christmas to each of you from Across the Way.
