finishing our discussion
about the coming of Advent
the rush of the season
the noise of our busyness
the lost days, Black Friday,
all the ways we have taken
Christ out of our Christmas
It is only a few weeks before Christmas
and we are awash in emotions
feeling joy but stressed out
pulled this way and that
we are frustrated, excited,
amazed the year is almost over
caught on the roller coaster
so wanting to get off
