Merry Christmas?

There is still a week (and some) before Thanksgiving Day...

I've just thrown my pumpkin from All Hallows Eve away;

Yet, I'm seeing Christmas decorations in the stores.

Some folks have already hung their wreaths upon their doors.

There are ads with Santa Claus; I'm hearing jingle bells.

Christmas-time too early is like 7 kinds of hells.

It's no wonder that the Grinch despised the very thought;

Advertisers make you think that happiness is bought.

Thus, they start the drumming earlier so you will shop;

Best thing about Christmas Day is that the drumbeats stop.

We're exchanging home-made gifts in my large family.

This year we'll be putting thought beneath the Christmas tree.
