It's the Day AFTER Christmas

It's the day after Christmas and all through the house, boxes and toys were strewn all about. The children, all playing with new toys galore. Mommy was cleaning and cleaning some more. The stockings were dumped on the table without care. They knew that their goodies would simply stay there. And Daddy played too, with his own brand new toys. Toys for a man, not for the boys.

While children and Daddy are all busy playing, Mom is seeing what they are all displaying. They show her the toys and things that are new, while cooking and cleaning as all mothers do.

Supper and baths, she fights to get through, Mom's achy and tired and wants a bath too. The children, they lie in their beds fast asleep, they hold their toys tightly, and don't make a peep. With quiet in the house at last, Mom gets herself to bed, and fast. As she lays there, with the days work all done, she is happy that everyone had so much fun. The hard work and preparing she did for this day, paid off in the end, many would say. With a smile and a nod, a satisfactory grin, Mom slips off to sleep feeling the win.
