The Night Before

Twas the night before Christmas and what do I see
A table full of credit card bills laying before me
I wanted to make this the best Christmas ever
Did I think I'd spend this much? Never!
So I bought her a mink and some diamond rings
And lots of other sparkly things
The daughter wanted a new car to go with her cell phone
And the son came out of the basement begging for a high priced drone
Next year is going to be rough
For I don't know how I'll pay for all this stuff
This is not a happy Christmas eve
For no one thought about a gift for me

Made me smile as my hubby and I haven't got gifts for eachother this year, and I've never gone into debt to pay for gifts in the past, I can understand the reason people overspend but they pay for it in so many ways over the year. Many congrats on your win:-) hugs Jan xx
