The Scrouges Disease

Sometimes Christmas ain't so cheery...

 

The houses are lit up with lights on my block

But mine sits dark as night

Christmas spirit abounds through the land

But in me something doesn’t feel right

 

I can’t get in the spirit this year

It really has me worried

As people rush to buy that last gift

I wonder what’s the hurry

 

I tried to get in the Christmas cheer

Put a tree up in the living room

But every night I forget to light it

Or water the poinsettias in bloom

 

I hung up a wreath out side my door

And set a snowman on the step

I keep meaning to do a little bit more

But haven’t gotten around to it yet

 

I haven’t bought a single gift

Not one single gift at all

Every time I start to go shopping

I just can’t face the mall

 

So crowded with people all packed in

Like sardines in a can

Trying to catch this on sale

Or buy that with a payment plan

 

Everyone’s so happy and festive

And all I feel is blue

So I work too much and try to forget

This Christmas I don’t have you

 

Hopefully by Christmas this scrooges disease

Will have left my body and mind

And some Christmas cheer for my family and Friends

I will be able to find

 

But for now I go day by day

And hope tomorrow brings

That love I used to have my heart

For all these Christmas things

Many times I have felt this way too. I have nightmares a couple weeks before Christmas where I have this sick feeling I have forgotten someones gift. So stressfull are the holidays...you have certainly captured it here.
