Christmas time now comes again
A time for mirth, a time for friends
A festive joy floats on the wind
And happiness abounds

Christmas time brings gifts and fun
Brings hope and joy for everyone
With families forming up as one
And good times all around

Christmas time is warmth and joy
Is merry times for girls and boys
Both young and old enjoy new toys
And merry carols sound

But when I chance a look to see
The truth behind a Christmas Eve
A different tide has come to be
Beset on common ground

For shopping takes up family time
The price tags on all presents climb
And happiness is hard to find
When stress can make one frown

When was Christmas made a chore?
When did joy come from a store?
Does giving mean receiving more?
Can happiness be found?

A Christmas gift brought me back home
For Christmas I was not alone
And Christmas time for me has shown
That’s all I need right now

Perhaps not my most light-hearted holiday poem, but one that was certainly on my mind. I couldn't help but chuckle at the irony of Christmas Eve -- actually, it was another family member who pointed it out to me :XD: -- but there is soo much excitement and chaos and tons of last minute shopping going on on the day when families are supposed to be enjoying each other's companies and having good times. It is soo ironic that it is simply hilarious...

Anyway, sorry for the rough tone on a merry tiding. I certainly hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and will have a fantastic New Years!

Aye, the season spirit has shifted to a lesser form than what it once stood for. Yet, perhaps someday it may return to that which we once knew it to be. ;)

I hope it does soon. ;) I wish people realize soon how materialistic they have made the holidays, and hopefully they dig deeper and realize that family should be more important than the now traditional focus on the presents that are under the tree. gifts are nice but that should never be the sole reason to look forward to our holidays that we celebrate.
