The Enough of Christmas
It’s Christmas time and everyone is a wreck.
We’ve gifts to make and friends to greet,
Food to serve, wine to store.
And maybe, even snow to sweep.
Christmas cannot wait. It must be done.
It must be made. Its importance not passed up.
Oh, my Lord. So much.
So very much. Too much.
What is one to do?
Find a kind Soul.
There are some that you know.
Make a cup of tea, nothing more.
Then enjoy Christmas,
With a gift of appreciation
And not a garish show.

Well, well, well, the preacher in me is never far from the surface. I present this poem and talk about keeping Christmas simple. In the same week, I am preparing for the visiting and reveling with friends an neighbors. I sure hope that I can take my own advice. 😉
