My Holiday

The Holiday is almost here because: I hear the sound of bells ringing for needy kids. Listen at the tussle and bussle in crowded malls. People cussing and fussing about their so called in-laws. While the kids is a pouting about their letters to Santa Claus. The family is decorating our tree with old fruit looms oops... I meant heirlooms. So lets break out the eggnog to toast the decking of halls in our home. With granny in the kitchen baking a yule-tide-log. Look out here comes the so called in-laws. Carrying the same old fruit cake we gave them last year. Put on a smile and open the door to wish them Happy Holidays with gritting teeth. As I thank the in-laws for the fruit cake that I take straight to toss out the back door. Lets sit down to the table to eat our Holiday feast that I slaved on all week. Over to the tree we go to exchange gifts that we really don't want because its something we'll never use. To your family from ours we wish you Happy Holidays even though were looney as hell.
