Pineapples and Cupcakes

I can’t wait for Christmas…

for the Pumpkin Lattes

for the lights donning the christmas tree at every night

for “let it snow” 

for blasting the heater in the car

for getting “silent night” stuck in my head

for buying new mittens, even though you rarely use them

for waking up to the smell of coffee and cake

for being home and with family at last

for thinking of what to buy mom and dad

for the crowded malls of kids and laughter, families and happiness

for the pictures and memories

for sitting around the tree that early morning

for sleeping in til 10

for caroling on the sidewalk with your guitar, money for charity

for seeing friends you haven’t seen in a year

for the best time in the year.
