dont like christmas images | hate Christmas, don't like Christmas, quotes about hating Christmas

"Jingle bell, jingle bell" ... here we go again "Driving Home For Christmas" ... with headache and pain "Last Christmas" ... I feel drowned in the deep sea "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" ... the truth of the story is the key "Happy Xmas" ... a contrast between your heart so cold "Rockin 'around The Christmas Tree" ... with your shoes of fake gold "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" ... I saw embraced in a brutal stranglehold "O Holy Night" ... surrounded by lies as told "White Christmas" ... while darkness descends uncontrolled "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" ... everything I loved is controlled "Sleigh Ride" ... some lack of desire, feeling fooled "All I Want For Christmas Is You" ... but it was the "king" who ruled _____________ "Blue Christmas" ... prepare a dinner for one 20.11.2018 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

Hi Sunshine Smile, A sad but great poem. As for a blue Christmas, Pixie Dust's poem has Mrs. Santa coloring Santa's hair blue - so is blue the secret code to Christmas? Your rendition makes me sad, come spend Christmas with us! Hugs and kisses, Jennifer By the way, my favorite colour is blue!

Sun, such a deep and thought-provoking write, I could relate to it in many ways, that last line really stabs like a dagger, well done and best of luck in the contest, a winner to me ~

This was entertaining, reminiscent of many comedy dialogues I saw as a child,and later. Can you bake an apple pie? NO Well, neither can I. I enjoyed this. CayCay

There is no joy in the Christmas you describe, Sunshine, and the holiday probably seems this way to a grief-stricken person. That feeling of "drowning" as darkness descends is well conveyed throughout and your final two lines are a fitting conclusion. Best wishes in the contest, Hon. I always enjoy reading your work and this one is different, but certainly not an exception. I applaud you for taking a step into the dark side... Love, Carolyn
