That Crap-Crap-Crappiest Time of the Year...
That crappiest time has
Returned once again
With Grinch-like regularity,
Never seeming to end!
With E-cards and well-wishes
From plumbers and car dealers
And messages of false hope
From Christian priest healers!
Buy this and buy that!
Just don’t be a slacker!
Get enmired in deep debt
That’ll strive to entrap you!
Please STOP with the hope
And the optimism already,
And embrace grim reality
That assails us steadily!
I’m so sick and tired
Of all the false sentiment
That I’m prompted to throw up
All that execrable effluent!
So, spare me your blessings,
Your cheerful well-wishings,
And accept all my complaints
Of commercialised pitchings!
The real blessing of Christmas
I don’t hesitate to relay,
Is that a full year must pass
Before it comes BACK this way!
Since the day after it’s over,
All peacefulness ended,
We’ll be right back to killing,
More cruelly rendered.
Therefore...to hell with humanity
And its monstrous excesses;
Bless the animals instead!
One of nature’s successes!

You rescued him with your final stanza. Clever and fun!
You are right. Our species, supposedly the brightest, is busy making sure that predators like Coronaviruses don't do the proper culling and right to life babies suffer both physically and psychologically for being born in the first place. But baby Jesus looks down on them, blesses them and cures them, at least by myth, 2000 years ago, but not today.
In our guilt for neglecting the less fortunate throughout the year, we shower them with food and gifts, but save the most expensive ones for the people less appreciative and greedy.
Thanks for a healthy dose of what Christmas really has become under wealth and commercialism.
