On Christmas Day

To me, it's just another day
With songs I'm sick of hearing,
Though it's a nice reminder 
That the end of year is nearing.

I do enjoy the festive lights
And after Christmas prices,
The stores infused with pine tree scent
And other Christmas spices.

Yet all the hoopla, all the hype
That happens each December 
Reminds me of a country club
Where I am not a member.

Yet that's okay, my candles glow
And am I happy? Very!
So let me wish my Christmas friends 
A day that's sweet and merry.

Christmas has always been just another day to me with the exception of when my children were growing up; I loved seeing their faces as they opened their presents! Aloha! Rico

Got to tune out the Xmas tunes for a bit, and fire up those Chanukah tunes---that you're also sick of hearing. ~ Ears Plugged
