Christmas
The laden trolleys rumble through the supermarket door
The queues along the checkout just get longer
The store is closing down its aisles for nearly one whole day
The urge to buy at Christmas time gets stronger.
It’s hurry and scurry to get the Christmas tree.
Will its lights be functioning this year?
What happened to the Christmas list you kindly sent to me?
Vanished into space it would appear!
It’s difficult deciding on the presents one will send.
Will it be the items in your mind?
Will it languish in a drawer or be a raffle prize?
I’m hoping it will be the wanted kind.
Then there’s preparation for approaching feasting day
Relatives arriving by the score.
Your workload is increasing at this time of peace and joy
You wonder what this stressful time is for.
A far cry from the story of a mother and a child
We suffer the compulsive stress and strain.
Just step back, calm down, relax
Let Christmas time be Christmas once again.
