It started out fun

My Christmas Dilemma

by Debi Pick Marquette

Every year I make our lists 

For our children and grandkids

I take the time, to get each one

The perfect gifts before I'm done

I pick my hubby's gift with prayer

That he'll really love it and know I care

From him I know, from years of past

My gift will be practical and it will last

Then I order, track and fret

What's finally come and what hasn't yet

Hours of wrapping, that starts out fun

But such a chore for only one

Now this would be a nice surprise

If running behind was exercise

While hubby snoozes in his chair

With lots of snoring and not a care

And I look on with a scowling burn

Will I never ever learn

It's so much work I could use help

I should report the guy to Yelp

One of the things that I love still

When it's said and done, he gets the bill
