From Our Home to Yours...Happy Holidays

-->

Here's the latest in a long line of annual Christmas poems...I hope you enjoy.  Have a fantastic holiday season, and a New Year that is prosperous and filled with only happy surprises...

 

It’s just days before Christmas

Deep in work I’m still mired;

Such a crazy fun time

But I’m so freaking tired.

This year has been nutty

Loads of hard work and great fun;

I thought things would slow down

But I spent the year on the run.

I’ve been to almost each province

In this last twelve month span;

I’ve spent as much time in the air

As a wingless man can.

My frequent flyer balance burgeons

My hotel points, they grow;

I always know where to stay

When it’s away I must go.

I love the folks at the Marriott

And my new friends at the Hyatt;

I’m such a creature of habit,

If it’s new, I won’t try it.

I reached Air Canada’s big milestone,

That I wasn’t sure that I’d meet;

Not sure if it's a good thing or bad

But I’m now a Super Elite.

So I logged on to Aeroplan

To check out my status;

Looking for trips we could take

To go places for gratis.

I learned that free still costs money,

There’s just no free pass;

You get your seat on the plane

But you pay for the gas.

So we’re heading to Cali,

Just Laura, our girls and me;

To check out the sites

And to hang by the sea.

It’s our first time away

From all the Christmastime hustle;

To take some time to connect

To just chill, sans the bustle.

I don’t know what to expect

On a Christmas morning away;

But I do know we’re going

To San Diego’s fine zoo on that day.

But after our big family trip

It’s right back to the grind;

And my big New Years goal

Is for some balance to find.

My lovely bride is a saint

And the kids take it in stride;

But I’m going to try to be better

At managing this wild, crazy ride.

The whole year has flown by

Faster than it usually goes;

Lots of ups and some downs

But what’s next, no one knows.

And now it’s time for the holidays

This the season of cheer,

So take some time to enjoy

With all those you hold dear.

 Best Wishes to you and the people you care about, from me, and the people I care about.

Sean, Laura, Haley, Ainsley & Madeline
