The Magic of Christmas

I took today off to get ready for the holiday.
On the weekend I polished the floors and worked on the menus.
Today I did other Xmas prep while listening to carols on my ipod.
As I was doing my tasks I was thinking that Xmas is not only magical for the kids who believe in Santa.
It is also magical for a lot of men.

As the holiday approaches personalized holiday photo cards arrive at the homes of these men's family and friends.
As if by wizardry, the photocards somehow include images of the men themselves.
Soon after, wrapped packages appear under the tree.
Yes, the men recall removing that tree from the car roof but after that things are a bit blurry.
Then one day the house seems busy and suddenly extended family start arriving.
How nice to see everyone! Good thing we happen to have all this extra food!
