Now I know you all feel this way, because I do too. WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THANKSGIVING? You walk into anystore right now and you are guaranteed to be smacked by Christmas. I know everyone is ranting about this, but I swear I was this close to punching someone when I walked into the grocery store looking for halloween candy and almost snowplowed santa to the ground. And it was like, "What are you doing here?"
In lieu of my pain, I wrote a poem.
Tis the Season
Although this season
should be jolly
Malls are filled with
Christmas folly
Clothes and shoes and
games galore
Line the shelves out
to the door
Stressed out parents
stand in line
Listening to their
children whine
Selfish people push
and shove
Never caring or
showing love
As I watched, very
bemused
Dazed men walked
around confused
Just trying to buy
their wives a gift
But instead get lost
in the frazzled rift
I think this season
has become
A competition to more
than some
While people strive
to buy the best
They put themselves
into more debt
Seems Christmas is
about getting more
Which is why this
season I do abhor
Amen
It's just frustrating, honestly. I love Thanksgiving, it's my favorite time of the year. It's the only time when not gaining 30 lbs while eating the holy grail of carbs is considered rude. And granted, yes it is a heartwarming celebration of family and gratefulness, but honestly, it might as well as be called Thank-the-dear-lord-mom's-a-great-cook day.
