'Twas 2 Days After Chistmas

'Twas 2 days after Christmas and the house was a mess,

There was giftwrapping everywhere and my mother-in-law's dogs to add to the stress.

My daughter has been dressed as Princess Tiana for two days straight,

And my son has been killing zombies, non-stop, living as an assassin in Italy and running Madden plays via video games.

My mother-in-law went on her smoke breaks and left open the front door,

And a Dancing Dora is sitting in the middle of my living room staring up at me from the floor.

The burners in my kitchen have been blackened to a crisp,

From cooking ribs, chicken, mac n' cheese, pies, hamburgers and even chips.

We've gone through at least 5 gallons of juice, wine, and coffee,

And personally, I've watched 10 to 12 good and bad movies [including R. Kelley's full, extended version of In The Closet on IFC],

I'm taking out the garbage once every four hours,

And I believe I'm the only one out of the bunch who's taking daily showers.

It's 2 days after Christmas and all bets are off,

I've eaten so much pie, ice cream and red meat my butt has turned soft.

But I'm not worried about the plaque clogging up my veins,

It's just a home full of joy and love at the House of E.Payne.


Happy Holidays!

Love it! I think I'm the only person that has showered in our household since Christmas Eve. Puppy included.

Enjoy the holidays!

Hugs and Mocha,

Who needs showers when you've been locked up in the house for two days straight overdosing on food and wine! Just joking. I love the poem! Perfect description of millions of houses all over the world!

That was great! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

PJ - enjoyed it immensely. Did a whole lot more giving than receiving and loved every second of it. I hope you and yours enjoyed yours as well.
