Let's Do Better This Year

What’s going on these days~
Is the world flip flopping on its side?
It’s the fashion of the day
To declare how we’re offended
No matter what was said
Or what we imagine was intended
We’ll put a twist on things
With much drama and sensation

Now it’s offensive to say happy holidays
Purists put up a stink
Get their nose out of joint
Their panties twisted in a knot

Offensive or not I fully intend 
To continue spewing tidings and warm wishes
I’ll say happy holidays to everyone I meet
From early December on through the month

It comes from a place of love
A feeling of brotherly kindness
And sharing a mood of happiness
A hope for living in the moment
To appreciate all that’s wondrous 

Happy Holidays means go be joyous
Enjoy every single moment
Of this lovely season
May your heart be filled
With cheerfulness and bliss
Like that of a child’s
Singing exuberantly
Putting up the Christmas tree
Setting up the nativity scene
Baking pies and cookies
Reaching out to family
Getting together with friends
Stirring happy memories
Happy holidays to you!
Happy happy happy holidays to all!

What’s all the buildup about?
A MERRY CHRISTMAS
To one and all
And a very HAPPY NEW YEAR
To everyone !

M. L. Kiser December 20, 2019 at 11:59 AM Yes, you are right; Happy Holidays is very generic and those who don't see that an still celebrate something need to take a second look; they are included. I don't think it's so horrible to wish someone the best. Line Gauthier December 20, 2019 at 12:30 PM Agreed, ML.

Chris Green December 20, 2019 at 8:28 AM A wonderful poem of truth on how it seems the world is today but the ending speaks my sentiments perfectly. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year my friend. Line Gauthier December 20, 2019 at 12:30 PM Thank you so much, Chris. Most appreciated.
