This is a poem by Linda Doucett that I hope you enjoy.

'Twas the eve before Christmas.
 I left it too late.
 The shelves are all bare.
 Oh, why did I wait?
 
 I swore I'd shop early,
 I clearly remember,
 And be done with it all
 By the first of December.
 
 But now here I am
 With picked-over stock.
 The boxes are crumpled
 On the Marvel knockoffs.
 
 Sweaters too big,
 Slippers too small.
 The pushing the grabbing,
 Get me out of this mall.
 
 I will stop at the drug store
 And purchase a card
 And fill it with Money.
 Why make life hard?
 
 It always fits
 And suits everyone's taste.
 No need to wrap it.
 That's just a waste.
 
 But should you not like it,
 Dear, have no fear,
 If you'd like to return it,
 My pocket's right here.

 Something a little different and hopefully you enjoyed this poem. Happy Holiday!
