A Christmas Poem

A Christmas Poem

Christmas O Christmas
How you drive me insane
You know all my kids 
Will want every damn thing

The crowds at the Mall
I can’t take it no more
And the cashier just graduated
Kindergarten for sure

The traffic is mad
They ride on your rear
I’ll be damn lucky
If I see the New Year

The decorations  oh my
Please give me a break
It’s gotten bizarre
The lights and music in sync

The mistletoe’s hung
So the guys can steal kisses
And the money you spend
It’s gotten ridiculous 

The madness must end
It has taken it’s toll
Christmas today
Has gotten out of control

Brilliantly penned and I can't agree more with you Ricky - we spend no more than £10 on eachother and we struggle with that as we are not particularly materialistic and buy things when we need them not because a particular day dictates it:-) hugs jan xx

Thank you. You are to kind. It used to be my favorite holiday now I just try to get through it as quickly as possible.
