'twas the days after Christmas

Legos have invaded the dining room. Miniature castles and Star Wars spaceships stand half erected, ready to battle. Comforters and sleeping bags carpet the front room, because who wants to sleep under a canopy on a fluffy feather bed when you can sleep on the floor? Neat piles of toys are stacked in the foyer, ready to be taken upstairs and placed precisely on a shelf. Only, they somehow manage to get knocked down and ransacked before making it up there. Price tags yanked from new clothes litter the bathroom countertop. Nail polish pens compete with a candy making kit on the kitchen table. Purple balled up Hershey's Kiss wrappers glitter in the reflection of the tree's lights. Next to the tree, a box sits half full of decorations packed up. Still under the tree are the untouchables, those presents that can't quite find a home. The lack of snow hasn't put a damper on the thirst for hot chocolate so coffee mugs with globs of melted chocolate dripping down the sides accumulate throughout the day. Mama in her jammies, and the children in theirs, lounge away the days until New Year's.
