Ho Ho Oh No

Lorna



Shall I put the Xmas tree up?

Think I’ll wait another week

Looking at it for a month

Might make my Xmas spirit sink

All those golden balls and tinsel

Will soon lackluster become

Ho ho hoing way too early

Makes me weary and then some

Xmas songs I’ll want to hear them

On the eve of Xmas day

Lest the notes get very dreary

And so merrily I’ll wish them

Get ye hence and get ye gone

    Refreshing to read. Today's apparent urgent need to be in christmas spirit is an urgency i don't share. Christmas does have a special atmosphere but to lengthen the period removes it's novelty making it more an everyday thing.

    Well expressed angst.

      Lol - it started just after Halloween here Dusk..... truly waters down the magic if you let it! Thanks for reading and I hope smiling......

      lol,
      'maybe a tad early
      but our Tree is up and glimmering
      so why not, indulge
      in a little: festive Harmony'
      (thanks for sharing
      the much needed positivity,
      a funtastic shorty)

      A very good read…really marking the arrival of festive season…

      Now, people who put their tree up in October. Should we impose hefty fines, tickle them to death. Mind you, Easter's just around the corner.

      Good write Lorna.
      It's some of the Christmas adverts I can't stand. Too naff! lol.

      Xmas ambivalence poeticised.

      Extreme thanks, Lorna

    • Goldfinch60

      I totally agree with you, Christmas is special but it is only one day, it does not start as soon as Easter is over!
      Very good words Lorna.

      I don’t understand Christmas , but that’s just me . People can give presents any time of the year , if they wish to . I’ve never liked Christmas that much , I kind of just get sad at the end of a year .

      Nice writing , Lorna .
