T’was four days before Christmas, and due to backlog,

This writer straight up just forgot ’bout her blog.

(*sigh* Good grief, Deidre, you’re doing this?)

I scrambled to write something pithy, and fast,

But I wound up with this. (I know, I’m aghast!)

 

I’ll keep this quite short, we’ve all got stuff to do.

I have gifts left to wrap, and you prolly do, too.

But as I watch out for more Amazon boxes

I can pen a few lines sitting here in my sockses.

 

(Like I’m using a pen.)

 

Whether you celebrate Kwanzaa or Christmas,

Hanukkah, Diwali, Las Posadas, or Solstice,

I wish you a good one. A great one, in fact!

May it be filled with love, and with wonderful snacks.

 

(Shuddup, it does so rhyme.)

 

I’d like to conclude with a personal note

To my God-fearing friends and you Christian-y folk:

God bless you and keep you. Recall, it begun

With the gift that He gave us through Christ, His own Son.

 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, my friends.

Warmest wishes,
