it's beginning to look a lot like...

i'm actually thinking
of celebrating
Christmas this year,
the last two or three
were horrible.
dark memories i try to avoid.
but this year i might put out
a candle or two. find
that glass snow globe
and set it on the window sill.
maybe toss down a string
of lights on the buffet.
maybe i'll make a batch 
of sugar cookies and stack
them on a red plate,
like my mother used to do.
i'll get out my list of three
people i need to send cards to
and start the search
at the drug store when i have
the time.
a wreathe for the door might
be nice as well. but i don't
want to overdo it.
i'll have to think about the wreathe.
