Christmas This Year

Forget to count the presents under the tree Look beyond the gifts and tinsel they will be tucked away or forgotten Forget the gnarly parking lots Soon everyone will go home Failing at finding the perfect gift Forget to buy that little black dress that is just 1 size too small and will only be worn once Forget to drink at all the parties and then not remember how you got home or how you acted in front of your boss Forget how little money you have this year and using credit til you exceed your limit buying high price items till you are broke Don't forget the homeless that will receive no gifts no thought of tinsel only hunger Don't forget the ones that have no cars. They have no worries of full parking lots They would just like to have bus fare Don't forget the ones that don't need or want a little black dress. There are no parties for them to attend They would prefer a second hand jacket to stay warm Don't forget the ones who have no money. No cash or credit cards to buy the things they need. Their only wish is a warm blanket to sleep with on cold winter night Don't forget the meaning of Christmas. Giving to others less fortunate sharing and loving each other. Don't forget
