I have seen several poems about Christmas posted today... this prompted me to write this little verse:-)

Christmas is coming, our wallets will be getting thin
Come on guys its MONTHS before we let Santa in

So lets see poems about sunshine and having loads of fun
I don’t want a continual countdown about when Santa Claus will come!

There is great truth in what you say.... Christmas has been so commercialized that we just throw it up for profit motives. To some, the true meaning of Christmas holds meaning that will last forever. Then there is the feeling I tried to capture when I wrote some lyrics some years back... "Christmastime Forever" ....... Love ya ..... Jake

I hate the fact they start to get Christmas stock in the shops before the kids have even gone back to school - I find it depressing :-( Hugs jan xx But Christmas is a magical (but expensive) time when you have kids so you enjoy with Abby:-)
