Brenda Mcgrath Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Christmas Before Halloween

If you want Christmas before Halloween, just go to the stores.
In Walmart you will find Christmas trees by the scores.
Why do we need Christmas in the Fall?
In October it is already Christmas at the mall!

By Christmas time we are all burned out,
Seeing decorations months in advance at the checkout.
I wish they would wait at least until November.
But it is the almighty dollar the retailers remember.

Joseph May November 11, 2017 at 5:33 AM This is so true Brenda...the mad rush is already on... Brenda Mcgrath November 11, 2017 at 11:45 AM I saw a store with a big sign that read, “No Christmas music until after Thanksgiving.” I’m no scrooge, but I like that.

Kim Rodrigues October 25, 2017 at 10:19 PM So very true! What they don’t seem to get is that we like the romance of the current season. If anything should be illegal...

Kevin Shaw October 18, 2017 at 4:27 PM I agree Brenda, It does water down what is supposed to be a special time, I liked your poem, regards, Kevin Brenda Mcgrath October 18, 2017 at 4:29 PM Thank you Kevin. :)

Silent One October 18, 2017 at 5:57 AM Its all so commercialised! Well expressed. Brenda Mcgrath October 18, 2017 at 8:59 AM It certainly is! Thank you Silent One.
