 HOLIDAY STRESS

(It’s hard to be good at Christmas)

 

At Christmas time,

There’s lots of holiday cheer.

But for kids like me,

It’s a stressful time of the year.

 

To make sure Santa comes,

You need to act your best.

But all that constant pressure,

Always leaves me stressed.

 

I try to behave myself,

And act like I should.

But I end up a wreck,

‘cause I hate being good.

Hey Michael, I recall the excitement of Christmas of looking at all the neatly wrapped presents under the tree. I wondered what was inside each one. It was a fantastic feeling as I opened each surprise that was intended for me. Now my excitement is spent at home decorating the front yard for others to see. My hope is to bring a smile to a family or a young child when they see the lights all glowing at night. Perhaps they are smiling and thinking, "These Christmas lights are glowing bright and colors are flickering in the dark especially for me!"

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

PS: A family across my street thanked me for putting up the light display. They said it cheered them up. That alone, made my day!

Nice poem!

And now that you're all grown up, you still are being bad producing all these poems revealing dirty underwear.

Happy Christmas and many more.

Or as Mae West might have said "When I'm good, I'm very very good, but when I'm bad...I'm great!"
