Christmas memories – A poem about what matters

Christmas Eve is here! With the preparations out of the way, it’s time to make some new Christmas memories.

This will be a different Christmas for us. For the first time since she was born, our daughter Laura won’t be here to celebrate with us. It’s hard.

With that in mind, I decided to share a poem that I published last Christmas on Wise & Shine. It’s a reminder there’s joy to be found even when things aren’t perfect.

I wish you all the blessings of the Christmas season. May the spirit of Christmas bring an abundance of joy, laughter, and peace to you and your loved ones.

Merry Christmas to all!

Memories of a Mismatched Christmas Tree

I’m a mismatched Christmas tree
No magazine will feature me

A mix of colours adorn my boughs
Sparking memories for everyone in this house

Memories of trips to faraway places
That bring a smile to all of our faces

Memories of loved ones everywhere
Who made precious ornaments with loving care

Memories of things that matter most
Of friends, family, and faith the baubles boast

And because this life is often flawed
Imperfect trinkets we do applaud

As you gaze upon my laden limbs
Let memories fill your heart to the brim

Memories of a lifetime of love you’ll see
Sparked by a mismatched Christmas tree

  2. I understand the feelings of a family not together for the holiday. I wish that I could say it gets easier every year but…I cannot. So savior the moments when you are together, hold onto memories, call, video chat, keep a text chat going strong…it helps a bit until the next time the hugs can happen in person. Merry Christmas Michelle.

25 years after Y2K – How are we doing?

In recent weeks, I’ve been thinking back to December 1999 a lot. A quarter of a century after we welcomed the 2000s, I thought it would be interesting to look back at how my world, and the world in general, has changed in the 25 years since Y2K threatened to rain on our new year’s parade.
