Christmas Aftermath

'Twas the day after Christmas and all through this house, not a creature was moving 'cept FJ at his mouse. The stockings lay empty beneath the tall tree, save only for gift cards and mugs and some tea.

The beds have been stripped and the wash is a going, the self-cleaning ovens are smoking and groaning. While I in my jeans and a new black zip sweater, decide on a menu for more Christmas splendor.

The baby-to-be has not yet shown her face, so a trip to Milwaukee with gifts, food and grace will toast the great season and wish Taryn and Jack a big Merry Christmas from the rest of the pack.

So load up the Volvo, BMW too, and head north to snow land (where there's also a zoo.) A dinner, some gifts and a jolly good day will add to the season, we can not delay. The season's been jolly, though the snow has been high, another great Christmas will soon say good by.
