The Day is upon us, and, as usual, there is much left undone. 
It used to bother me that no matter how hard I tried,
I could never finish every detail of the perfect Christmas.
At least, the perfect Christmas that was etched into
the motivation chamber of my brain.

Now, I try for okay and what's done is enough.
We will celebrate and worship, exchange gifts
and eat more than we need to.
We gather together with family and friends
and are grateful to be loved
imperfections and all. 

Imperfection, after all, is relative.
The love of God is here,
born yesterday and today.
Perfect enough!
