Christmas is supposed to be a time for happiness and joy,
I am supposed to buy expensive presents or just maybe a simple toy.
But inside I don't get how opening a gift makes you happy,
It could just end up being something that will go unused and kind of crappy.
Just going through the motions of being in the spirit and joyful,
while inside I am feeling lonely just not ready to deal with it all just kinda dull.
Nothing shiny will make me smile, nor give me a clue why its all worthwhile,
Deep down inside I hate Christmas and feel all the meaning of it is lost,
It was supposed to be a day to remember when baby Jesus was born who knew he would only end up dying on a cross.
Actually everyone should be feeling sad just like me,
but instead they're all happy or are all just pretending to be.
Maybe somewhere along the way of all the shopping and wrapping and cheer,
People will see there are people, like me, that just are sorta filled with fear.
I hate Christmas and hate it every year.
I just wish it would go away and were to never appear.
I much rather celebrate the New Year coming,
and much rather forget the year that is leaving.
So, there you have it, I just want to forget Christmas altogether,
and just go on like it is just another day why even bother.
Merry Un-Christmas and I don't have much cheer,
I gave someone a christmas gift and they re-gifted it to me the very next year.

- i never would want xmas to go away, but i do get your point. people do care too much about the gift giving and not enough about the true meaning of xmas anymore. some of the stanzas are kinda messed up (4 and 5) but other than that, it's great! 4/5

- I think it's a good poem, but I think some stanzas could be rearranged. You have good images, but I think you depend too much on the rhyme scheme. Like the last stanza for example. The first line of the last stanza is good for an end, but the very last line, I feel like it should be closer to the beginning. Don't worry about making it rhyme so much as getting across the feeling and message you want in a way that flows better.
