Christmas Lights

The suspenseful car ride, all wearing Santa hats.

We make a quick stop to starbucks,

for a holiday drink.

We take the drive singing holiday songs such as, 

“All I Want for Christmas is you” and “Mistletoe.”

We arrive in the long line of shining lights.

Looking out the back window of the car, I can see the story they are showing.

Looking back in my memory I notice the feeling is different, 

The older I get the less fun it becomes.

Looking out of the car window is not as fun as it used to be,

Maybe this year I will try something new.

This poem is about holiday traditions and how as you get older some of them do not seem as fun as they once were.
