Disenchantment of Christmas. by ~brat-princess:iconbrat-princess:



When I was five
I could hardly sleep -
Awaiting the morning
Dreaming of what lay waiting.

When I was seven
I could hardly wait -
To await the next day
And see the splendor under the tree

When I was ten
The dream was still alive -
Eager anticipation
Of the  magical treats, toys and celebration

When I was twelve
The enchantment was heaven -
I knew the secret
And kept it alive for those younger

When I was fifteen
The play there again -
The roles set, cast
I knew my part in the games of the day

Now I am nineteen
The charade has no hold
The day has no wonder nor splendor
The enchantment has disembarked my heart.


Tomorrow is just another Sunday.

I must have written this mid November last year. A little out of season now, but what the hey!

Good piece of prose...I can remember feeling all of those things about Christmas. Although now it seems to be getting more exciting again.

I like it a lot :)
Unfortunately I'm still a sucker for presents, and still wake up insanely early for my birthday and Christmas :giggle:
