X-Mas Disgust

Christmas supposed to be for giving generously
In the form of ridiculously expensive perfume, or Versace dresses
The desire to make someone else, and yourself, feel warm by the fire
Watching chestnuts roasting by the obscenely hot fireplace
Wondering when the holiday euphoria from the rum filled egg nog
and the family togetherness will fade away into the abyss of past holidays
Sadly that happens a lot faster than it was predicted and kicks in as
Soon as the Turkey's natural goodness seeps into your bloodstream
Rendering you powerless from turning back the clock even for an hour
Stuck with facing the next day at either the office, or at the mall
getting something that was actually on your list.
