Last year I wrote this poem for fun. It's not really what I do personally as those who know me realize I start buying gifts in July. I'm usually also finished around the first of December. But, in any case, enjoy and Merry Christmas!
‘Twas the Day Before Christmas
‘Twas the day before
Christmas I
searched for some charities
No presents I’ve bought To
give in their honor.
Where did the time go That’s
the best gift of all
That I almost forgot? I
began soon to ponder.
No wrapping or ribbons Now
after the donations
Oh, what should I do? Were
all given as gifts,
My family expects
something I
smiled as I realized
And it all must be
new! The
meaning of Christmas is this.
Away to my computer My
family was thrilled
I flew like a flash And
the gifts were just right
For last minute gifts So I went to bed happy.
Please, system, don’t
crash. Merry
Christmas to all and a
peaceful good night!
I’ll order my gifts
And send e-cards their
way.
I’ll have to pay extra
But that’s still okay.
Then as I sat there With
apologies to Clement C. Moore
Ready to click enter, Vicki
L. Julian
I paused for a moment
As I turned on my
printer.
Are e-cards real gifts
To give from the
heart,
Or just an obligation
That somehow did
start?
So I reflected a
minute
And thought what was
right.
With so many in need,
I should be easing their
plight.
My recipients don’t
need gifts,
But there are others
who do.
That should be my
focus
And I hope my family’s
too.
