Christmas a Good Time to Look For Alternatives

Christmas seems to be a good time,
To look for alternatives in good time,
While we still can have a good time.

Christmas seems to bring out the best,
So we can be at our best,
And the worst does not look the best.

It may be the silly season,
But alternatives look best in this season than,
In any other season.

So Lets put some alternatives in our New Year Resolution,
Be prepared to stand by that resolution, 
And not give in to an alternative resolution. 

Christmas is the one time of year we can freely mix, 
And put alternatives in the mix,
While drinks we mix.

Christmas is the time to appreciate our planet,
A time when we are not looking for an alternative planet,
But alternatives so we can stay on this planet.

Thanks Jennifer. Hope my love of Christmas is evident. i feel the more we can look at alternatives, the more we grow as people. I hear too many people saying they have no alternative. You are right though, we have to look for them in the context of our own situations. Sometimes it is enough to know we had an alternative even if we decided against it. Have a great holiday season and stay safe. Very best regards David in NZ
