It’s all up to you Christmas

It’s all up to you Christmas

O Christmas spirit,

Is that you again, decking the halls

with your silver bells over crowded malls

 dusty old music on the radio? 

and Santa Clause impersonators,

everywhere I go?

Some say you’ve turned too commercial

(or have I become too cynical, now?)

Anyway, I really do want to feel you again  

So, I’m seizing the moment; (it may be fleeting)

 embracing the holiday, lighting the scented candle

 Rendering a ‘seasons’ greetings’

 wherever I go

  Toasting you with many a sparkling beverage;

 (for celebration purposes)

 letting darkness be covered, at least for a while

 by tinsel and turkey and sweet potato pie   

   I'll fall into the trance,

  do my part; and eat, laugh and dance…

now-- it’s all up to you Christmas—

Cause, I’m giving you this one last chance

Hi Brother Poet Chris,

My sentiments exactly.  One last chance to bare our souls to humanity.  One last time to toast along side tinsel topped trees and pray for world peace.  So we eschew for this joyous season, from our thoughts of negativity, and we pledge our loving hearts to noel, noel.  One last stab at returning to normality, yet, probably with "Auld Lang Syne", will come the betrayal of all our hopes.

Peace and Love,

Larry xxx

Hey brother Larry,

I so love your comments, pal, thanks my friend.  I'm kinda optimistic about the new year.  What is 'normality' lol, truly I don't know, I enjoy a bit of chaos at times; not too much, a 'bit' keeps me interested; I'm weird like that....anyway, you rock bud, have a great Xmas, you are yours, be well

yes, peach and love
