Your poem captures the anticipation of Christmas so well! The idea of cutting away the "caseload of peripheral days" is perfect! Your playful yet thoughtful tone makes this an enjoyable read! Keep bringing that energy to your work!

    Michael, I appreciate your reflections. I had an amazing time with this writing prompt. That is one of my favourite lines from this piece as well. Thank you for the encouragement.

Here today, gone tomorrow. The build-up of emotions for children thriving forward and then thirty minutes later, with torn paper everywhere, parents thought was it too little or too much - Their credit cards will tell.

    At Christmas, everyone wants to be happy for ... 24 hours. The banks in my country have a lucrative Christmas loan scheme going and the tagline for their promos is Making Christmas Magical. I'm a teacher and I have a few parents who would have literally spent their last dimes on holiday gifts last year ... trying to make their kids happy, or so they think.
