Christmas comes but once a year,
and so does Christmas clutter!
Boxes and bags evicted from
basements, attics or closets
disrupt the flow of ordinary.
With them may come a tag-a-long
musty dust from that year alone
in the dark. Taking up space on
floor, tables and counters until
cherished decorations are all in
place, any attempt at organization
seems hidden in the chaos of tissue,
ornaments of many colours, sizes and
shapes, tree lights filling corners and
spare rooms until Christmas clutter is
repacked and stored til next year.
What I know for sure is that result of
all the glitter and shine is joyous. It sparkles the
ordinary. For that short time, I wouldn’t trade it
~ just have to work on my clutter anxiety.
“Gifts of time and love are surely the basic
ingredients of a truly merry Christmas.”
