Christmas Come Early

Call me ludicrous ‘cause
I know it’s outrageously early but
I’m aching to put up my Christmas tree

It’s crazy but no surprise
I could use a little cheer
I want to buy in to the illusion
That everything is wonderful

That everything will be alright
That Santa will take care of folk
Who have been good all year

I’m longing to dreamily lose myself
In the glow of holiday garlands lit
Close my eyes and kiss my sweetheart
Under the magic of mistletoe

Call me what you will

I'm not a "Christmassy" person... but I am enchanted with this poem! I especially love the part about "I want to buy in to the illusion/ That everything is wonderful/ That everything will be alright/ That Santa will take care of folk/ That have been good all year"... Brilliant piece! ;)
