• On Christmas Eve, hope is in the air
    presents wrapping, small ones napping, stingy children share

    after sleeping for a second, they all wake up again
    ripping open paper, only crumpled heaps remain

    after playing with their toys, and finding some are dull
    the chances of them cleaning go from one percent to null

    when the excitement is all over and they wake up the next day,
    the children wash the dishes when the parents go away

    unfortnantly some people have to work on holidays
    are the sale prices worth it, why is money such a craze

    the spirit of Christmas was much stronger in the past
    but in this crazy world, i have to doubt that it will last
