PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The magic of Christmas Day is truly wonderful…

but I happen to believe…

there is also something magical and exciting about its predecessor…

Christmas Eve.

Perhaps it’s because I was born on New Year’s Eve

that I cherish and adore…

and have such an affinity and fondness for the day and night before.

Every day and night before is filled with hope and expectation.

There’s anticipation and excitement as we wait.

I remember the day before the first Christmas I can remember…

I remember the day before my first date. 

I am blessed that the walls of my mind

are decorated…enhanced…and adorned…

with memories like the day before my wedding…

the days before all our children and grandchildren were born.

It comes down t basic calendarial logic

dating back, I’m sure, to days of yore.

for where would any Christmas, birthday or special day be…

without the day before.

So Merry Eve of whatever holiday or special day you celebrate today

and the rest of your life too…

because there should be a place in all our hearts

for the day before 

the day our dreams came true.
