Amy--This poem offers an honest and quietly compelling meditation on the aftermath of Christmas celebration. The contrast between November’s anticipation and January’s fatigue is relatable to so many of us. I also caught one of the "viruses of the season" which adds another layer of fatigue.

Why do we all end up sick after the day we wait all year to celebrate?!? It’s crazy.

I think it's the stress of creating that Christmas magic for ourselves and families. In my case, it was sick grandkids coughing in my face!
