As soon as October draws near,

The world is filled with joy and cheer

For Christmas time is very close,

And our excited souls already know.

But what has become of our sweet holiday?

Is it’s original meaning still here today?

Or have gifts and greed taken over the role

Of what should be a cleansing of the soul?

As every cheesy writer has attested before,

“Christmas should be about giving, not getting and nothing more.”

However, as hard as we try

We still know this to be a lie.

Some may call it human nature,

But these some are also the fakers.

The ones who give up and blame

Are the ones who should feel the most shame,

Here’s an idea I propose

It really isn’t that crazy, I suppose.

Not necessarily taking the gifts away,

But moving them and making way

So that you and others can enjoy Christmas time.

Sadly this behavior is precious and hard to find.

Never fear, this isn’t impossible

Because most forms of bad habits are stoppable.

To put it simply, don’t focus on what’s under the tree

Focus on where you want to be.
