This is a nicely written poem that relates to the many thinks we don't like about Christmas sometimes and the need to skip it. Your words flow smoothly and certainly sounds like they could be set to music.

    Thanks for your nice review. Yep, I like Christmas at home for lots of reasons, but kinfolk - both hers and mine - can be downers on my Christmas spirit. Never thought about it that much until this contest came along and gave me the ideas to put into rhyme. Happy New Year!

What a great song this makes..country music I think! Who hasn't felt that same way about certain relatives at one time or another? Its something most of us can relate to.I liked this a lot, good luck in the contest.

    Country is about all I know, so that must be where I was headed with this. It just came to me one afternoon and it fell together. Full disclosure: m favorite Christmas Carol is "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer". Glad you enjoyed it!

Very well-written song lyrics about the Christmas party with the family we usally are reluctant to go to. It is always the same and ends up with a fight and some screaming.

Yeah, I've got to admit I've been in that very similar situation!...
But had to bite the bullet and put up with it....
I'm no lyricist, but I can see where this would make a pretty good song...
Well Done! as far as I'm concerned.

This is a good entry for the 'Lyrics Make the Song' writing prompt.
The wonderful picture is a good match as well.
Good luck to you with the competition.

Thought this was a great piece of writing and one which I can sort of identify with, as I'm sure many can.
You injected some humour into it which made it a very enjoyable read, and a worthy contest entry.
Well done and good luck.
