I need a teaspoon of patience to survive the holidays.
Visitors to entertain, food to cook, and gifts to wrap,
Upheaval when Christmas gifts don’t satisfy.
And no one is talking because they’re on different apps.
Maybe we could start new holiday traditions.
No smartphones allowed, giving others our attention.
Marriages will be saved and friendships renewed,
With holidays that are minus so much tension.
Written for the Weekend Writing Prompt #447 from SammiScribbles: Teaspoon in 65 words. Fandango One Word Challenge prompt is Marriage. The Three Things Challenge #MM280 promts from Pensitivity 101 are upheaval, entertain, visitors.
