Would we appreciate Christmas more...?

Poem Artwork

Christmas comes every year,

So little children have no fear,

Santa is just a year away, so near,

But would we appreciate it more, what if…

 

What if we had Christmas every five or even ten years,

Would that create in children’s eyes too many tears,

The New Year would still come upon us every twelve months,

But no Christmas just a week before, too bad,

Then credit cards & bills would not often be in arrears…

 

I’m sure stores would find this upsetting,

Not toys and gifts would anybody be getting,

I think most folks would like this better,

No worries of Christmas yearly & no after season sweating…

Ma says you're just plotting so you don't have to give her or me a Christmas present - every year.

PS: She says you're already six years behind!!!

Ed,

Wonderful write. It seems many people have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas.

Christmas isn't like it used to be ... people doing all they can to remove the "Christ" part of it, putting an "X" in its place, people forgetting about WHY we celebrate it ... not having my parents around, missing home/family ... I love Christmas, but I also hate it.

Well stated.

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Texas, Karen Lynn. :(

Ouch, hey Ed you trying to take away old Santa's only source of spending money I get each year. Remember people spending money also creates jobs and jobs are what a country needs to survive and grow strong.

Christmas this year wasn't the same with my family, even my oldest Karen agreed. Too much over presents, not enough caring about others, and boys broke Kris sofa by jumping on it, yes the one26 who is going to law school in Wash D.C. jumped onm his brotheer's lap and broke it, wil he never grow up, surprised me at that, don't look forward to Christmases no more.

You been smokin again, you look all green, and you're obsessed with the greenback, best spend it now dear Ed, it'll soon be worthless, and don't let kids see your proposal, by the way my friend, my idea yesterday about tunneling, they are doing just that down the road, at Mount Washington, so you see, it was a good idea, unlike yours of course, ha. Bless ya, you old fool, Jasmin Horst
