Notes About The Poem

Have we forgotten the real reason for celebrating Christmas? It certainly was not to celebrate Christmas sales in the stores year 'round.

Christmas Is Coming Earlier

Christmas is Coming Earlier
By Franklin Price
11/24/2016

Christmas is coming earlier
Most each and every year
Black Friday defined the movement
Made commercialism clear

If we keep advancing 
When the Christmas season starts
We will soon be back to Easter
And all that that imparts

Maybe the Easter Bunny
Could help deliver all the toys
Making Santa's job less hectic
To get to all the girls and boys 

Would have to change the mindset
Of that harbinger of Spring
To forget about the Easter Eggs
And not hide the toys to bring

Love the humour here Franklin but I agree it gets earlier and earlier that the Christmas stock is on the shelves - and last year our local shop has a display of mini Easter eggs on Boxing Day ... I complained to the manager and walked out!

Now that's just the opposite from Easter to Christmas. Maybe the Easter eggs were left over from Kwanza (sp) LOL . Thanks as always for visiting and commenting
