Excuses

The blue sky of the day chased the clouds away. But that was many hours ago. Now it is dark outside. The presents have long since been unwrapped, the cookies eaten, the chocolates hidden from the dog. And the boy has come and gone.

So here we are alone together, now that it is dark outside and the cold settles in around our feet. Our Scrabble game is done. The left overs have been eaten. The dog is curled up on the bed.

And yet here I am on Christmas night at the keyboard...

You'll forgive me if I make my excuses. Good night.
