Between the Treats and the To-Do Lists

Hello and welcome to a subzero Saturday here at the Wannaskan Almanac. Today is December 13th.

December 13th, the calendar turns...

A quiet hum in the house as my spirit burns
bright with the thought of the kids coming home,
No longer a silent, empty, lone home.
But the plates, oh the plates, tell a different tale,
Holiday treats, they absolutely prevail.
The healthy choices lost, outnumbered and gone,
A sugary battle from dusk until dawn.
The work year winds down, but the pace is not slow,
Ramping up busy, a steady, fast flow.
The holiday prep sneaks up, time ticking by,
Christmas day closer beneath the cold sky.
Through the rush and the hustle, the love is the key,
This seasonal joy, for all of us to see.
Wishing you all calmcare, and true goodwill,
Let peace find a way, let the world be still.
