Small Christmas Openings

Opening a battered box of chocs from France
Opening the door in the dark in a trance
Opening a card before a gift to be polite
Opening the curtains to let in the winter light
Opening the peel of a single tangerine
Opening credits of a movie you've already seen
Opening a tin of mum's mince pies
Opening your eyes
Opening the cupboard in the loft for dusty decorations
Opening arms to visiting relations
Opening the letter box
Opening another pair of socks
Opening up with 'Silent Night'
Opening then closing nutcrackers so tight
Opening a pack of 'Eat Me' dates
Opening my wallet to buy a pint for my mates
Opening the car door and climbing back home
Opening the draw in my old bedroom alone
Opening the oven to check on the roast
Opening cheap fizz for a mid morning toast
Opening the meal with a laughing grace
Opening a smile from a year older face
