Please excuse my absence lately
I’ve been hiding from gift wrapping duty
There are gifts piled in my living room
I hurry thru
Like they don’t exist
Wrapping paper lurks by the sofa
Cellophane tape jumps at me
From the oddest places
My scissors beg me to use them
And still I hide
Ribbon festoons the dining room table
But I ignore it
I’m strong when it comes to avoidance
Christmas cookies wouldn’t stand a chance
They would be gone in an instance
But gift wrapping
I can put off till the 24th
Then I will run to the dollar store
And buy lots of Christmas bags
You and me both, only my presents are lurking in my bedroom as we speak...maybe tomorrow I will begin to wrap or I might buy bags too.
Great write.

Commercialism and indeed secularism have not only taken Christ out of Christmas but also the joy out of giving and receiving. Buying then wrapping presents (devoid of the surprise element) has, for many, become a hated annual toil, a time for lying down and avoiding. Guys that I used to work with in the post office worked five double shifts amounting to 90 hours a week from early December leading up to Christmas. Why? Because of the pressure from their kids to meet their expensive and fashionable desires (wants). I understand why you would rather hide, Sue.
LOL, this is adorable, Sue -- and you're being honest, which is always enjoyable, to know someone else has the same "problem". I thought I was the only one who procrastinated! LOL, again EXCELLENT.
Love,
