It Is Good

 

The presents are wrapped.

The stockings are full.

The cookies and chocolate milk are out for Santa.

I’ve baked all I’m going to bake. No less than three types of cookies, caramels, a cheesecake, and a loaf or two of bread. Plus a few other things that I have nothing to show for since they’ve been eaten and the dishes done.

And as I sit here It’s A Wonderful Life is on the TV.

We’re ready.

And I’m calling it good.

So in the words of that familiar poem,

“Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!”
