It's Nearly Xmas Time.

Its nearly xmas time you know                      
                             Children playing, lot's of snow
                            

                             The times have changed to buy our gifts
                             No climbing stairs,Or getting lifts


                             It's warm inside,there is no threat
                             You see we have the internet
                            

                             Im wondering now, when we are old
                             If things will always be controlled    


                             We've left the old days way behind
                             To me it seems to be unkind

                           
                             I may be living in the past
                             But shopping online can be a blast.

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 12/15/2009 6:07:00 PM Shopping online is much easier, Kate, and I have done it many times. But I do worry about store employees whose jobs may be in jeopardy if there aren't enough holiday sales. I like the irony in this poem. We want to prserve traditions, but it's just too tempting to order through the Internet. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas! Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
