Holiday Blues

The holiday glow
Just a little too near
as the laughing coworkers
celebrated with cheer

The icy ground is
Coated in snow
as locals rush by
with places to go

The familiarity of holidays at home
Gone across the sea
surrounded by friends and family
is where I long to be

This Christmas experience
Europeans by will
glamorous it appears
not feeling the thrill

Make the most of it
Enjoying the holiday quirks
darkness and cold
constantly lurk

Our stockings are hung
The ornaments placed
stepping out of my funk
and into husband's embrace
