This made me smile and Christmas can be a pain in the proverbial '&%$@' at times! My favourite lines are:

My internet purchases have yet to arrive
and come Christmas morning, they will skin me alive.

Thankfully my Christmas shopping is done!

Merry Christmas to you and yours, love Dolly x

Ok, this gave me a serious chuckle. I think we can all relate to your sentiment, dear Jay! We're all in a hustle and things running amuck. I hope your family gets there safe and sound. The rhyme was spot on and the message was fun and cleverly penned. Good job, dear.

In my opinion, a charming and fun write - clever in its perspective and a joy to read - rhyming rhythm is smooth and flows easily, in unforced style. Standing alone, it requires nothing else, no imagery, to set the tone...

MERRY CHRISTMAS JAYBIRD1: The Holiday bustle is really a hustle, isn't it. Welcome to the club. I'm feeling you all the way. I have imagined that the most annoying part of it all for me is the cluttered traffic situation. Here in Pleasantville New Jersey main street traffic is like a parking lot every day...inch-stop-go. Inch-stop-go. And the weather has been ice cold. But I thank our God that I'm still here to experience it all...and to live another day. I like pour poem, Jaybird. It is good. God bless you. Cordially: rhonnie69.

Hi there Jaybird, I love these Christmas posts that keep coming up! Your little take on T'was the Night Before Christmas is really cute. Totally on the mark with the travel, shopping and what have you. Very good!

Hello Jaybird!
Wise advice!
I made the mistake of shopping this morning in my quaint little northern Michigan town, and I darn near killed three pedestrians who cannot read crosswalk signs, and was nearly rear-ended twice. "Uptight" doesn't come close to what I was feeling when I arrived home, but it's close!
Your poem is fluid and humorous!

Thank you for sharing!

Very funny poem. It's true that Christmas doesn't always live up to our expectations. There is too much traffic, the mall is crowded, we spend too much money...
Thanks for sharing.

This is a great Christmas poem. You tell it just the way it is in most cases.

Your rhyming couplets really made me laugh and we desperately need more laughter in our troubled world. Merry Christmas to you and yours...Bill

haha. lol. this is an entertaining piece of poetry dear jaybird! I think you have successfully managed to convey the dark side of Christmas. The futility of the commercial sentiment.
thank you dear friend for sharing!
Blessings and a hearty hug!
