Bah!

With gifts to buy and then to wrap

And cookies needing baking,

The holidays become a trap

Of joy we’re sometimes faking.

 

We have to follow set routines

To honor our traditions,

But often what that really means

Is life with impositions.

 

Many love this time of year

And find it fun and merry

But, Scrooge-like as I may appear,

Does it annoy me? Very!
