Christmas Day Poem

by Kicking The Chaos With Kaylin

Looking back at 2025, I can’t help but laugh — girl, we survived.

Here at Kicking the Chaos, blessings were plenty, and honestly, my heart feels full… and then some, and then twenty.

I’ve got a daughter who’s healthy and thriving with grace, and a bonus daughter who showed up like, “Surprise — I’m part of the place!

”Two for one — a BOGO deal life didn’t warn me about, but I’ll take it with joy, zero returns, no doubt.

We learned chosen family is magic you feel, the kind that hugs tighter and keeps it all real.

And let’s talk about dating the best guy around —the one who makes my heart do that ridiculous sound.

We travel, we wander, we Netflix and chill,

we adventure like teenagers… but with Advil.

This year I embraced 50+ with a grin, stepped out of my comfort zone, and let a whole new chapter begin.

I started a blog — who knew it’d be fun to write my chaos out loud and not scare everyone.

Old friends reappeared, new stories were spun, and reconnecting reminded me that life’s best circles never really come undone.

From my mom’s tender moments to the furbabies’ flair, from the job that keeps me grounded to the girlfriends always there —this year has been wild, messy, sweet, and sincere…a full‑on, unforgettable KTCWK kind of year.

So, on this Christmas Day, I’m raising a cheer to the blessings, the chaos, and the joy we shared, to love, to growth, to the memories we cook —2025, you were one for the book.

(sorry for the forced rhyming, but I had to do it ;) Merry Christmas!
