December Fourteenth

December fourteenth only eleven days till christmas
When I was young christmas always seemed so far away
Man I just couldn't wait till christmas
That long awaited christmas day

But Im much older now 
christmas comes way to fast
Seems like it was just yesterday
Nothing between now and christmas past

Eleven short days until the longest one
Eleven short days will just fly by
Then comes that day that seems to last forever
Cuz when your alone at christmas time sure don't fly

How well I know, Marc! Some of us try to fill holiday time by shopping, writing cards and sending gifts. Still, being alone on the big day can be a bummer. Just remember, the people you see on Soup that day are probably alone as well. A very touching poem. Congratulations on your win in Brian's contest! Best wishes, Carolyn
