"holiday Hell"

Bells will be ringing Blaring inside my head Another Christmas is upon us Welcome's a Holiday Hell In stores for hours looking for that special gift Everything's picked over, knowing you should of started in September In line for another hour Surrounded by people who act like they have the holiday cheer Snot nose children are crying Wanting things they don't need Parents last nerves are pinched No money in wallets, craving a stiff drink Ungrateful family members Gather around and b*tch Look at the presents you bought them With disdain and that look "Exchange or money back." Bells are still ringing Pounding inside my head Christmas is definitely here Everyone welcome the Holiday Hell.

Paula, it sounds like the ringing holiday bells drive you as batty as they drive me! Christmas should be a tribute to the birth of Christ, but unfortunately it has become a strain on the wallet and the harmony of families. VERY well done! Carolyn
