Had a Holly Jolly

Survival
An outcome
Better had
Than wished for
Slogging through
Countless hours
With a smile
Sometimes forced
On other
Occasions
Genuine
Successful
Completion
Tolerance
We hugged
And played
We gifted
Re-gifted
And sighed
Contented
The tree lived
And even
Little blue
Car made it
To New Years
Despite her
Best attempts
Overwhelmed
With in-laws
Computers
And Spanish
Denial
Makes it tough
Coming back
Transition
Can be so
Burdensome
Ever so
Unwelcome
Like bad guests
Intruders
Family
And saurkraut
