Cashless Christmas

‘Twas a week before Christmas, not a present was bought,
But I know a secret that helps me care naught.
While others are out spending, and fighting in lines,
I am at peace, not a care clouds my mind. 
Yes, I am too broke this year, can't afford to buy gifts,
But Christmas is about more than what’s on your wishlist.
It’s a time of giving, not just presents, but love and goodwill.
So simply cherish those you care about this season, and your holiday spirit will be fulfilled!
