Chantry Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 A Christmas Poemby Paul Gilmartin Eggnog, tinsel, falling snow Buttered rum and mistletoe Christmas trees and hanging lights The sound of carolers fills the night Shopping hours long and hard Visa phones and cancels card Unpaid bills and mounting debts Family gathers; depressions sets Drinking starts, harsh words are said Dysfunction rears its yuletide head Argument turns to shovin' Drunken brother punches cousin Tree tips over, popping lights Curtains catch, house ignites No one hears the reindeer cries Wedged in chimney, Santa dies Though he kicked and did perspire His chestnuts roasted on an open fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugs Bonney SASS # 10171 Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 My wife and I are alone this Christmas. The kids have their own kids and live far away. I just got back from visiting relatives in Chicago but sure wish I could get together with them at Christmas. I'm blessed with a family that does not fight and cousins that sing carols with me. Gonna miss all that this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Kris Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 May those warm memories also give rise to positive projections of things to come. We are alone this Christmas as well, however we are looking forward to a family gathering in the spring!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
