Twas the day after Christmas and to my surprise
was one of the best since I opened my eyes,
and looked at the folly surrounding this day,
and said, “No more! I refuse to play!”
I refuse to buy into more presents is good,
and treating this day like a holy mom should.
If you’re not a Christian or here to consume
then what, may I ask, can Christmas presume?
The 25th of December’s already a feature
in the U.S of A--deal with the creature!
The day’s set aside by every and all
why not feast, and have fun, and stay out of the mall?
My little gaggle of kids I call kin
came over to eat, play a game and drink gin.
We had each drawn a name and on limited cash
replaced the mountainous under-tree stash.
With only one person this day to consider
the gifting creative, and much reduced litter.
All and all it was merry with so little stress,
and this morning I woke up, and guess what? No mess!
I now look at Christmas with differing eyes,
like Thanksgiving, I love it! what a surprise.
Instead of anticipating drudgery, and shopping
next Christmas I’ll smile while hanging the stockings!
